Vale of Lorton

This is our kindest holiday in one of the quietest areas of the Lake District National Park. It is based around the peaceful lakes of Loweswater, Crummock and Buttermere in the North West corner of the Lake District, and uses well defined paths, forestry tracks and country lanes.

The distances covered each day are relatively short with the exception of one mountain pass involving an easy climb of 200 metres. The route generally keeps to relatively flat valley bottoms and there is plenty of time to take it easy, enjoy some spectacular scenery and soak up the tranquility.

Client Feedback

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.

We always come back and book our walking holidays with Mickledore. Great service and they know what they’re doing. The company knows the routes and the staff members also walk the routes themselves.
