    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.

    We had an absolutely wonderful time walking Hadrian’s Wall last week, all prepared by Mickledore. They sent through the maps and guidebooks we needed; reserved the packed lunches and arranged the baggage transfer; and most important, selected and booked the most wonderful guesthouses to stay in. Every place we stayed as unique, welcoming and spotlessly clean. I would love to do it again immediately!

    This is my third or fourth walk with Mickledore and I’ve always been pleased — in fact, I have stayed again at (and recommended to friends) some of the guesthouses they’ve found for me on walks. I plan to keep walking with them for many years in the future!

    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.

Client Feedback

Mickledore provided us with all the information we needed prior to and during our trip. You gave us a realistic view of what to expect and provided us with everything we needed for our hiking experience to go as smoothly as possible. This was our first long distance hiking trip as well as a trip of a lifetime. Thank you for making it a memorable one!

Julie, Canada Herriot Way, September 2024

This was a self-guided walking tour in the English Lake District. Very well organized — great communication from the Mickledore Team, really clear information for each days walking stage. All of the places we were booked into were first rate and we had good local information about each stop.

John Smail, North Carolina USA Coast to Coast Path, June 2024

First time we had used yourselves and it won’t be the last. Thanks for taking the stress out of the planning and the recommended pubs (and pre-booking them) was huge benefit in completing the plan.

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.
