Why Choose Mickledore?

We are one of the leading specialists in self guided walking holidays, with 15 years experience, and a small, dedicated team of walkers and cyclists. We’re still small enough to give each holiday the individual attention it deserves – it matters to us that you have a good time!

Accommodation is critical to your holiday and we make a special effort to find the hidden gems. Whether you are staying in a village inn, farmhouse B&B, country hotel, or local guesthouse, you can be sure it has been selected for its comfort, welcome, and character.

You have 100% financial protection – we are fully bonded through the AITO Trust, so you are fully covered against our financial failure.

Client Feedback

  • Just wanted to say a big thank you for organising our Coast to Coast walking holiday.  The accommodation we had along the way was first class and all provided us with excellent packed lunches.  Despite facing torrential showers, a hailstorm, gale force winds, raging becks and the occasional sunshine (our first and last days were dry and sunny!) we enjoyed every step of the way.  Should we decide to ever do it again, or perhaps one of the other walks you specialise in, we would not hesitate in contacting you again.  For our first long distance walk, this was really a fantastic and memorable occasion.  Thank you to everyone involved.
