    Having walked the English Coast to Coast we decided it would be fun to do the Scottish Coast to Coast. Starting in Helensburgh on the west and finishing in Dunbar on the east, it was a varied and delightful walk. Lots of lovely wildlife along the canal paths and disused railway routes, a low level walk for everyone.

    We have used Mickledore for the last eleven years for our long distance walking holidays. They are an amazing company to work with, their great range of walks, high quality accommodation, organisations to move your bags between locations, brilliant communication and information (everything you need to make the walk special eg: places to visit/eateries/toilets etc… ) they really are a first class company.

    We booked our John Muir Way Hiking Holiday at Mickledore and from the beginning everything was very well organized. Communication was easy and the documents arrived on time but where available earlier in the Mickledore App before they arrived by Postal Mail. Mickledore booked good B&Bs , Inns and Hotel so we had nice stay. Also luggage Transport went quite well (luggage was there when we arrive and in some cases we meet the Driver for the luggage Transport). Also the Taxi Transfer was well organized and went quite will. Taxi Driver was so kind and provided us a sightseeing tour in the town and showed to us the best restaurants (these weere also in the list from Mickledore).
    The John Muir Way was as described. First two hiking days and the last two days are the bests days. The three days on the Canal was not so good and includes lot of Tarmac with is not so good for hikers.

    This was our Holiday Number four with Mickledore and every Holiday way organized well and also the tips regarding local facilities like restaurants was very well. Maps and guide books are really good. For Hiking trips in the UK i only recommend Mickledore to anybody who asked about hiking in UK

    We walked the Cleveland Way in May. 110 miles over 11days. Accomodation was varied including village pubs, B&Bs and even a beautiful 4* country house hotel. The route was generally well sign posted and we enjoyed a great contrast in scenery, walking through farmland, woodland and moorland, and then along the beautiful coastal path. Taxi transfers were included where accomodation was too far off route, luggage transfers worked effectively and everything went to plan.

    We love the fact that Mickledore has a great range of long distance walks and plenty of options for slower walkers, such as ourselves, with lower mileage each day. Mickledore are consistently good in their communication with clients and we were impressed that they responded personally to us regarding our feedback on the accomodation in a couple of remote locations where standards were less than ideal – they indicated that they would look at better options in future, even if it involved taxi transfers. Overall, we had a great holiday and feel that Mickledore genuinely have clients’ best interests at heart.

Client Feedback

Thank you! We couldn’t have done it without you. All of our accommodations and luggage transfers went very smoothly.

John Hair, Oklahoma USA Coast to Coast Path, June 2025

Professional, responsive and a very well-organised self-guided tour. This was particularly important as I was travelling from abroad and travelling alone. Realistically, I could never have made the arrangements as seamless as Mickledore did. Excellent in every respect.

Kent Harries, Pennsylvania USA Hadrian’s Wall Path, May 2024

Thank you for that great experience. The walks are just AMAZING.

Grading System

The grade reflects the overall difficulty of the walk and takes into account the overall length of the route and how far you walk each day. It also includes how much ascent and descent there is, what kind of terrain the route crosses, and how good the going is underfoot. We also consider how well the route is signposted and whether the route presents any navigational challenges.

Easy

These are our easiest walks, covering flat and undulating terrain, and usually not more than 12 miles a day. Paths and tracks are generally well defined and well maintained. Navigation is usually straightforward.

Easy - Moderate

These holidays have an average of 15 miles a day or less on mostly rolling countryside and well defined paths, with some sections in more hilly terrain. There may be some bigger climbs, up to 250m, but not every day. For our self guided holidays we recommend you can navigate from a map.

Moderate

With a maximum of 20 miles a day these holidays typically cross more remote mountain and moorland terrain for more than one day, with total climbing of up to 1000m. Whilst most of the route follows well defined paths, there may be sections where the path is indistinct, so you need to be able to navigate with a map and compass for these walks.

Moderate - Challenging

With a maximum of 24 miles, much of the route will be over remote mountains and moorland, and there will be sections of rough or boggy ground and indistinct paths. Competence with a map and compass is essential.

Challenging

Similar to four boots, but many days will involve total climbing of up to 1200m, with significant time spent in mountainous and moorland terrain. There will be some long days out, so you need stamina! You will need to be an experienced and fit walker, confident in the mountains and on the moors in poor weather. Again, competence with a map and compass is essential.
