many things for visitors to see depending on their interests. |

its many ships and landmarks makes an interesting visit.

| Goole has recently had a facelift and the
new Pedestrianised Town Center is much
more pleasant for shopping than it used to be. Many new businesses have
been attracted to the town because of this. Shops include, Tesco, Netto,
Argos, Boyes to name a few. |
| |
| Goole has several public
parks and gardens providing recreational facilities such as bowling,
tennis, children's play areas, dog exercise areas and more. |
| |
| The town of Howden
is three miles from Goole and has a semi ruined Minster as its focal
point. Although much smaller than Goole, the town has plenty of
character and is worth a visit. A popular walk named the Howden 20
starts from here. |
| |
| Goole can also be used as a base to
explore the surrounding areas and cities such as
York and Hull. The Yorkshire Dales and Yorkshire Wolds are within
easy travelling distance. The east coast seaside resorts of Withernsea,
Hornsea, Bridlington, Scarborough and Whitby are also within travelling
distance of Goole. |
