Self guided 6 night walking trip along the river Thames from Marlow to Richmond-upon-Thames. The Mickledore booking process was very easy. We enjoyed staying in all of the hotels on the route, our luggage was successfully transferred every day and Mickledore pre-booked taxis along the route worked efficiently. All of the rooms were well appointed (received a free upgrade in one hotel) and all provided hearty breakfasts to start our days walking. Most of the hotels were centrally located with lots of restaurants nearby. The country house hotel was a little further out but still with easy access to town if you wanted it. As with our previous Mickledore holidays along the earlier sections of the Thames Path the route was very well sign-posted and followed the river with only a few detours. This section of the Thames Path was less rural but with a number of interesting villages and sights along the way eg. Runnymede and WIndsor/Eton. We would also recommend this trip through Mickledore as we have for the earlier two stages we have completed.
There was extensive information on the Mickledore website about the trip. The booking process was very easy. Once confirmed the holiday pack arrived quickly by post. It contained detailed information about all of the places we would be staying, local information about places to eat/emergency contact info etc as well as a detailed guide book and map. The guide book was excellent and included detailed maps for each section of the route. All of the hotels were ready for us when we arrived and our luggage was transferred for us seamlessly between them. We’re already thinking about our next trip with Mickledore.

Stretching 95 miles from Milngavie to Fort William, it climbs steadily…

Notes from the South Downs Way
By Mark Wright Previous familiarisation trips with my daughter Eb have seen us follow rivers and coastlines – along the Thames Path from Oxford to Westminster, and from St Ives to the Lizard on the South West Coast Path. This time, though, we found ourselves heading somewhere a little different. No water’s edge to follow…
