    We did a self-guided walking trip on the Dales High Way, and loved it. It was challenging in terms of elevation and navigation, but that just makes it more fun. The landscape is so beautiful, the accommodations were great, and the people were lovely. We’re eager to return to that area because of this lovely trip!

    Mickledore did it again: we’ve just returned from our second trip with them, this time on the Dales High Way. What a gorgeous part of England! Our trip was well planned by Mickledore, and all the details worked out well. Since we’ve now had two trips with them that are so well planned and go so smoothly, we know we can trust them to do this regularly. We are already thinking about what walking trip we want to do next summer!

    Using Mickledore Travel we booked a walking holiday from Settle to Carlisle. This involved Mickledore booking the accommodation, taxi connections and a company to transport our cases from accommodation to accommodation. Al worked very efficiently and we were able to enjoy the walk. The weather was good and the Holiday Pack provided by Mickledore very good

    We have used Mickledore for more than six walking holidays.
    The service they provide is excellent and as proved on this holiday above and beyond expectations. When we had been given the the wrong keysafe code for one of the accommodations on a Sunday evening at about 5 pm. A call to Mickledore and it was sorted it in 15 minutes.
    The Holiday Pack Mickledore provides was spot on as usual, very detailed information that made finding each night’s accommodation straightforward and lots of useful local information – eating, taxi, shopping etc.
    As part of this walking holiday Mickledore could not find accommodation on route and arrranged – and paid for – an excellent taxi service, Peacock Taxis. The service was friendly and we were whisked us to and from the Guest House safely and efficiently.
    The Mickledore App is very useful when on the move, works very well. Great to be able to access accommodation details easily online.
    Mickledore just does the job so well and we have already recommended you to friends who have also enjoyed walks organised by them.
    We would highly recommend Mickledore.

    We did a 50 mile walk from Penzance to Falmouth staying in (mostly) traditional B’n’B places. Our luggage was transported each day by a courier firm leaving us to walk with just a day pack. The accommodation was excellent at every stop with very friendly and helpful staff at each location.

    Great support with loads of information about the route (including a Harvey’s map and Coastal Walk book), the places we were staying in and places to eat, both on route and in the evenings. Lots of good advice and tips. Good provision of help/emergency numbers for any problems (not needed by us, fortunately).

Thank you for yet another amazing holiday.  You take all the hassle away! I have already recommended you quite often, for the super organised way you arrange things.

Kara Twaits, Kent South West Coast Path: South and West Cornwall, September 2025

Professional, responsive and a very well-organised self-guided tour. This was particularly important as I was travelling from abroad and travelling alone. Realistically, I could never have made the arrangements as seamless as Mickledore did. Excellent in every respect.

Kent Harries, Pennsylvania USA Hadrian’s Wall Path, May 2024

We had a wonderful holiday. The weather was excellent, the walk superb and the pubs & B&B’s were good.

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.
