SUGGESTIONS are being sought for the best things to do and sights to see on the Cleveland Way as part of a new booklet being produced ahead of the trail’s 50th anniversary next year.

They will form part of a booklet that will be available from January 2019 suggesting 50 ways to enjoy the Cleveland Way, which was voted the nation’s favourite trail earlier this year by an online poll.

National Trails officer Malcolm Hodgson said: “We’re really keen for people to get involved with celebrating the anniversary.

"As the Cleveland Way is such a well-loved trail, it made sense for the booklet to be a compilation of favourite spots put forward by visitors and locals.

“As part of the anniversary we’re also planning an event on the May 24 where it would be fantastic to involve anybody who remembers the trail when it launched or who shares the special milestone birthday.”

The Cleveland Way was the second National Trail to open. It was launched in May 1969 and runs for 109 miles in a horseshoe loop across much of the North York Moors National Park between Helmsley and Filey.
