    Walked Hadrian’s Wall, taking in all the forts, turrets and milecastles that we could.
    The most amazing site was Vindolanda, which is not actually on the wall, but a mile or so south. Glad that we gave a day to visit it.
    We were constantly impressed by the work that the Romans must have done to buld this wall around AD122.
    Spent nights in a mix of pubs and B&Bs, all geared to provide comfortable accommodartion for the walker.

    Mickledore gave first class service, booking transport and accommodation, providing maps and useful information on places to eat shop and so forth.
    Also helped with a late change when we had to modify our plans.

    The West Highland Way is a long distance walk (96 miles) through the Scottish wild lands. We saw incredible scenery all along the way experiencing the beauty of Loch Lomond, Rannoch Moor, Devil’s Staircase and the highlands ending in Fort William. We chose to do the walk in 9 days with a day off for site seeing in Oban. Mikledore worked hard to ensure we had excellent accommodation along the way including baggage transfer and packed lunches when available. What a memorable trip! Everything went so smoothly. Although the walk was challenging and long at times we were able to relax in the evening at our accommodations and enjoy a great meal.

    We would not hesitate to use Mickledore for our next walking holiday in UK. We used them last year for two walks and now they have us hooked on long distance walking. We have thoroughly enjoyed working with Mickledore to design our walks. They are so quick to respond and offer experienced advice. They research information for us so we can just concentrate on preparing for the walk. Even though there was a time difference of 7 hours between our home in Canada and England this was never an issue – we still had excellent communication with Mickledore. We are hoping to travel to England next year and have Mickledore plan a walking trip for us.

    We booked our John Muir Way Hiking Holiday at Mickledore and from the beginning everything was very well organized. Communication was easy and the documents arrived on time but where available earlier in the Mickledore App before they arrived by Postal Mail. Mickledore booked good B&Bs , Inns and Hotel so we had nice stay. Also luggage Transport went quite well (luggage was there when we arrive and in some cases we meet the Driver for the luggage Transport). Also the Taxi Transfer was well organized and went quite will. Taxi Driver was so kind and provided us a sightseeing tour in the town and showed to us the best restaurants (these weere also in the list from Mickledore).
    The John Muir Way was as described. First two hiking days and the last two days are the bests days. The three days on the Canal was not so good and includes lot of Tarmac with is not so good for hikers.

I walked the Dales High Way organised by Mickledore. The accommodation booked was high quality and the whole experience was thoroughly enjoyable. Mickledore provided a well organised holiday, with clear communications from booking to finishing the trip. I’ve used them three times now and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

Joel Driver, Sheffield Dales High Way, July 2024

This was our fifth trip with Mickledore and have always found them to be excellent. The maps and information provided are comprehensive and invaluable. The B and B accommodation was of high quality. All in all a lovely walk with everything taken care. We have no hesitation in recommending Mickledore.

Graham Lee, Milton Keynes Gower Peninsula, June 2024

Had a fabulous time walking the Cotswold Way recently despite walking in a heatwave! The scenery is stunning and the accommodation top notch as we’ve come to expect from Mickledore. We had an extra day in Bath at the end of the walk. It’s such a beautiful city. This was our sixth holiday with this company and we would thoroughly recommend them.

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.
