    We had a lovely journey walking along the Thames Path, staying overnight at selected inns and hotels, visiting small villages on the way. We completed the journey at the Thames Path Barrier, a fantastic feat of architecture and engineering!

    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.

    In 6 walking days, we covered approximately 75 miles through the borders region ….. a walk with lots of high vistas where you could “see forever”, passing thru many sheep pastures and and beautiful farmland, and following the peaceful Rivers Tweed and Teviot. Like all long distance walks, there were a few challenges, just enough to call it an adventure. This part of Scotland, sharing a border with England, has a long history which has shaped its strong Scottish pride. This was evident as we had the opportunity to walk town to town: Melrose, Kelso, Jedburgh , Howick and Selkirk.

    This is our sixth walking holiday with Mickledore. Walking adventures by definition have a lot of “moving parts”…. any one of which can go awry . The fact that they have been successful is a testimonial to the good information and materials they have always given provided us….. especially coming from the USA.

You were very responsive, professional, clearly knowledgeable and easy to work with when planning this trip.  The information provided was clear and helpful.  You are excellent at planning and organizing a trip like this.  We had a great holiday!  Thank you so much!

Christopher Robertson, Washington USA Hadrian’s Wall Path, September 2025

This was our 7th walking holiday booked with Mickledore Travel. They never let us down and we are content with every trip. We have only good experiences with Mickledore and much better in comparison with other operators.

Tineke van Drooge, Netherlands Great Glen Way, May 2024

It was the perfect holiday. You are lucky with your two Sarah’s they are superb people and planners.  My group had exactly ZERO problems along our trip and you also dialled up perfect weather for us.   I would gladly tell ANYONE to use your services of vacation planning.   10 of 10.  Have nothing to add in terms of anything to help improve your services.  It was perfect.

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.
