    Walking holiday over 5 days planned from St Bees to Patterdale. Mickledore Travel organised accommodation and support such as moving bags. It was my first experience of a UK long distance walk and it was a fabulous one. We were lucky to have only one rainy day and even then enjoyed the walk as the scenery is so incredible. Staying in hotels along the way allowed rest and recuperation for the next day ahead.

    At short notice they were able to books accommodation for a popular walk. This did involve using a hotel they had little experience of so they checked with us before booking. They also arranged for the bag collections and movements, even with a last minute final day change and were flexible and helpful. We gave them feedback abut the hotels used and what extra information we would have found helpful and they were appreciative and listened so clearly work to improve the customer experience.

    It was a short walk due to commitments on another adventure. The excursion with Mickledore was great. Well organized and extremely helpful when I had a issue with my foot. We couldn’t be happier with their service.

    Didn’t have one but we had great directions on where to walk as well as lots of information in our books about the area we were in. All these information books were supplied by Mickledore.
    This is my 2nd walk with them. Highly reccomend.

    Walking Hadrian’s Wall was as beautiful and as relaxing as I could hope for. Great to have everything arranged and working out fine without having to worry about a place to eat or sleep. Routes are clear and overnight stays are all welcoming and comfortable with hearty breakfasts. The only downside: it always ends too soon!!

    All overnight stays are comfortable and welcoming, nice people, delicious breakfasts. After a long day of walking all you wish for is a good bed in a nice room with a warm shower. I found that every single night and most of the time a lot more than that, like nice company, a beautiful view from my bedroom etc.

Client Feedback

We used another UK Walking Tour company last year when we walked The Cotswold Way. A friend suggested that we use Mickledore for our South Downs Walk this year as they were impressed with the service they received. Making the switch was the right decision for us. Mickledore was easy and efficient to work with from Canada.  Their communication is excellent and their varied choices in accommodations is delightful.

David Sims, Calgary, Canada South Downs Way, April 2024

Mickledore was brilliant from start to finish, communication was spot on. The information pack provided was invaluable and the accommodation was lovely. We will definitely be booking again!

Natalie Fraser, Rossington Cumbria Way, May 2024

We booked the Coast to Coast Walk with Mickledore, and they provided us with a wonderful holiday. We often felt like we had the best choice of accommodation in each of the towns which we stayed in. Mickledore offered a great holiday for the price.

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.
