Walking the Speyside Way

Six of us walked the Speyside Way from Buckie to Aviemore, about 90 miles, over six days. We used Mickledore to arrange accommodation and transport of luggage from hotel to hotel. They were brilliant, as usual. The walk was varied, sometimes on disused railway track, sometime through woods and over hills. One day we took the Tomintoul Spur, a taxi to the high town and a walk back mostly downhill and across wilder country than the actual Speyside ...

One day we took the Tomintoul Spur, a taxi to the high town and a walk back mostly downhill and across wilder country than the actual Speyside Way. Brilliant views along the way, points of interest and a warm welcome everywhere

We have used Mickledore for several years. They are a terrific outfit, based in Keswick. Communication via phone or email is apleasure and all questions are quickly answered. We would recommend them to anybody wanting a walking holiday

Amazing attention to detail!

We booked to walk the Speyside Way with Mickledore Travel. They organised the accommodation, luggage transfer and packed lunches, and provided restaurant recommendations en route. What an excellent service they provide! A detailed information pack arrived in plenty time for the trip.

Excellent holiday; well organised as always.

Although we have a holiday home in the area we decided to use Mickledore having used them in the past. The Speyside Way is a very pleasant walk through interesting countryside. All the overnight stops were excellent with outstanding food in all cases. Mickledore were very flexible in changing the standard holiday to meet out requirements.

Wonderful (landscape, accommodation and the also the weather)

Speyside Way a wonderful walk from coast to the scottish Highlands. Easy to walk, not too long distances per day.

Best organisation of accommodations and baggage transport. Wonderful and friendly accommodations nearby the walking way. This was my third trip with Mickledore and all of them were perfect organised.
