We walked the Great Glen way in Scotland with support from Mickledore Travel. This long distance trail is 79 miles, which we walked in 7 days and it was the first time that I had attempted anything as taxing as this! The Great Glen trail is a very well marked and maintained track which crosses a variety of terrain, including low lying canal paths, Caledonian temperate rain forest and gorgeous views of Ben Nevis and Loch Ness from some of the higher elevations along the walk. On most days we walked for 11-13 miles with ascents of up to 450 metres in parts. The views were absolutely stunning!
We were delighted with the service we received from Mickledore Travel. They arranged all our accommodation; taxis to and from the trail where necessary and organised to transport our bags from one hotel/B&B to another. We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the accommodation that Mickledore arranged for us. We tend to find staying in the UK to be a very hit and miss experience in terms of good service and decent accommodation, but all of the properties on our tour were of a good standard, some were positively delightful! The hosts were universally warm, helpful and gave us scrumptious breakfasts and huge lunches! Bag transport worked perfectly and the whole trip went like clockwork!
We were particularly impressed with the material that Mickledore provided to support us during our holiday - a map, detailed trail guide, discount for Cotswold Outdoors and list of cafes and restaurants to book for our evening meals - it was far more than we were expecting!

By Mark Wright Can I bring my dog? is a question we are often asked. For solo walkers, their dogs are their companion, and for couples, their dogs are quite simply part of the family and it wouldn’t feel right to leave them behind. After all, dogs, like people, contribute to making memories that will…
