    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.

    We walked the coast path from Hunstanton to Cromer over 4 days. Everything was arranged for us and all the accommodation was great. Luggage was there waiting for us on arrival at each accommodation. Lots of useful information provided by Mickledore regarding where to eat, shops, etc along the route.

    Very impressed. It was our first time using Mickledore and we will certainly use them again. The communication with them was good, very prompt responses to any queries we had and everything was well organised. All the accommodation was well chosen – good quality throughout. Lots of information provided about services on the route plus maps, guidebook, etc.

    It is a superb walk, with stunning scenery along the way. The route includes babbling rivers, teaming with wildlife, quaint villages and desolate moors. The pubs and B&Bs are excellent, with very friendly owners and delicious breakfasts.

Your staff seem really enthusiastic about your holidays and are very helpful when needed. It seems that our enjoyment of our holiday is important to your staff.

Stephen Harland, East Sussex Westmorland Way, September 2023

Exceptional service from beginning the booking and throughout the whole trip. Far exceeded our expectations and we could not have asked for more. All the accommodation hosts were amazing and the trip extremely well planned. Thank you – we absolutely loved every minute.

Fiona Thompson, Westbury UK Herriot Way, July 2023

My husband and I (ages 74 and 78) walk Hadrian’s Wall Path coast to coast in 10 days. Wonderful B&Bs. Mickledore planned everything and we walked the wall on our own, no guide needed. Your organization is remarkable.

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.
