    Having walked the English Coast to Coast we decided it would be fun to do the Scottish Coast to Coast. Starting in Helensburgh on the west and finishing in Dunbar on the east, it was a varied and delightful walk. Lots of lovely wildlife along the canal paths and disused railway routes, a low level walk for everyone.

    We have used Mickledore for the last eleven years for our long distance walking holidays. They are an amazing company to work with, their great range of walks, high quality accommodation, organisations to move your bags between locations, brilliant communication and information (everything you need to make the walk special eg: places to visit/eateries/toilets etc… ) they really are a first class company.

    A variation on the standard West Highland Way but with stops to accommodate our health needs. This year we completed the last section from Bridge of Orchy to Fort William during September with extra stop overs, at a time of year which puts the tour operators under a lot of pressure. The month was important for us not only because of the reduction in midges because September is blood cancer awareness month and I wanted to raise awareness for the work of Anthony Nolan. A superb walk with a lot of international participation. The accommodation was perfect and even the weather was kind to us. A trip to remember.

    Mickledore are so professional in putting together all the customer requirements. The route of the walk is well known but the participants are of different ages, backgrounds, accommodation requests and have individual special requirements. The complexity of something which on face value appears simple needs staff who actually know the details, and Mickledore do. The excellent information package prior to going and the knowledge that they are available if anything goes wrong means that there is complete peace of mind. A really good example of good customer first focus.

    We booked a five day walking tour through the Lake Distrcit which has amazing scenery. The itinerary was well organized starting with a forest walk, onto another walk of beautiful green rolling hills, and, of course, lots of lakes.

    Mickledore was always responsive from my first contact over the internet to the end. The arrangements of baggage transfers, transfers for us to the beginning of trails and from the end of trails, and detailed itineraries of where to walk were all done efficiently.

We found that your arrangements gave us a trouble free, relaxing and enjoyable break doing what we love – putting one foot in front of the other.

Anne Leech, Co Durham Lady Anne’s Way, June 2025

I have used Mickledore before and never had any complaints.  Always helpful and thorough in the organization of the routes. This is my 80th year and a special challenge – met all my expectations and thoroughly enjoyed it. We felt your service was very personal to us. It was useful going into the office to organise exactly the walk we wanted.

Brenda Brock, North Yorks Dales Way, July 2025

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.

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.
