Promoting The Cleveland Way
The 109 mile long Cleveland Way has fabulous views, castles, gorgeous heather moorland, and fishing villages tucked into tiny coves. It's an important feature of the North York Moors National Park, and one we want to celebrate and promote.
Malcolm Hodgson is the Trail Manager, based at the NYMNP offices in Helmsley so he should be your first port of call if you need any information or support.
It's the 50th anniversary of the Cleveland Way in 2019 so we'll be increasing promotion and planning events and PR activities to help celebrate.
