Walking Holidays in Northern England

Welcome to Mickledore Travel's 2007 self-guided walking holidays.
We specialise in walking holidays in the Lake District, the North of England and Scotland from our base in Keswick, at the heart of the English Lake District.

We have a comprehensive range of self guided tours throughout the area for you to chose from. For example; a three or four day's gentle walk alongside rivers and through small villages in the Yorkshire Dales, to two weeks of strenuous walking across the Lakes District, Pennines and North York Moors, as well as various cycling options. We hope to cater for a wide variety of tastes and levels of fitness.

All our holidays are self guided

We book your accommodation and provide you with a guidebook and map and you do the walking or cycling unaccompanied, at your own pace. All accommodation, which is carefully selected, will be booked ahead by us and we can transport your luggage to your next night's accommodation and provide packed lunches as required. You are then free to get on with enjoying your holiday, without the hassle of a heavy rucksack, or any worries about where to stay.

Protecting your Payments

Mickledore is fully compliant with European Union and UK Package Travel Regulations. This means that your payments are fully protected as they are paid into a trust account and only transferred to Mickledore's business account once your holiday is complete. Therefore in the very unlikely event of Mickledore going out of business, you will receive a full refund.

Our range of routes and short breaks are a mixture of official routes, such as the Hadrian's Wall National Trail, (which follows the line of Hadrian's Wall from Wallsend, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, across the Northern Pennines and on to the Solway Firth at Bowness on Solway). As well as routes we have devised in the Lake District, such as the North Lakes Traverse, and Vale of Lorton walks. Follow the link above for more details.
