    We have walked the John Muir Way via Mickledore. The only thing you need to do is walk with a daypack. It’s a very beautiful route with lots of diversity in nature. Every place we have stayed has had its unique features. And the restaurants/ pubs had great food and nice drinks. The people we have met were very friendly and welcoming.

    Mickledore has the best experience / knowledge of all the walking holidays they offer. They know the B&B / hotel / guesthouse owners and these people know Mickledore. Just mention Mickledore and it’s fine.
    Everything is arranged from route maps, where to find restaurants/ pubs/ banks/ shops/ post office/ doctors. The official route with book and the route to your local destination. A taxi to collect you from the trail or to the trail, if the B&B is not nearby the route.
    And Mickledore will arrange transportation for the bags to your next location.
    So a carefree holiday for us, so we can enjoy our walks the fullest. And the helpdesk of Mickledore (if needed), is just a phone call away.

    4 days walking around the coast of Guernsey. Marvelous views along the cliff paths, along with a LOT of stairs on the southeast and south coasts. Some amazing beaches, huge tides and interesting dunes. Lots of history, both ancient and more recent. Good accommodation and good recommendations for where to eat.

    I have been on a couple of different Mickledore self-guided walking trips. Mickledore provides excellent information on their website and in their tour packages, arranges accommodation that suits my needs, is responsive to questions and requests to personalize the trip.

    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.

I have been thinking about the C2C walk for many years and Mickledore made it a reality. The organisation, information provided and choice of stays was excellent. I will certainly book again with Mickledore and would recommend them to anyone interested in this type of holiday.

Phil Bloomfield, Wiltshire Coast to Coast Path, June 2024

Brilliant holiday, and brilliant service. Thank you so much. We will definitely recommend you to friends and will book again ourselves. Keep up the great work, thanks for a really special holiday.

Tim Barendt, Birmingham Tour of the Lake District, June 2025

What made the holiday special, and so easy-going, was the meticulous organisation by Mickledore Travel, from the initial booking to the end of the trip. I know it is a cliché, but Mickledore really did exceed our expectations.

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.
