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

We used another UK Walking Tour company last year when we walked The Cotswold Way. A friend suggested that we use Mickledore for our South Downs Walk this year as they were impressed with the service they received. Making the switch was the right decision for us. Mickledore was easy and efficient to work with from Canada.  Their communication is excellent and their varied choices in accommodations is delightful.

We have used Mickledore Travel for at least six walking holidays and we have never been disappointed in their service, clear and precise paperwork, selection of night stay overs and great, regular communications. We would highly recommend Mickledore Travel and have done!
