Background information:
The National Trails are of considerable interest to many walkers from Belgium and the Netherlands. What's more, the eastern based trails of Cleveland Way and Yorkshire Wolds Way are within very easy reach of these users because of the nightly P&O ferry service from Rotterdam and Zeebrugge to Hull. In recent years where funding has allowed we have attended these exhibitions and had a lot of enthusiasm from walkers we have met, who are keen to discuss the precise details of a walking holiday.
