Goole

As the UK's most inland port, Goole is ideally situated for access to the country's transport infrastructure. Located on the River Ouse, some 50 miles from the North Sea and less than two miles from the M62, Goole is only 30 minutes' drive from the industrial areas of West and South Yorkshire. The North Midlands and the North-West are no more than an hour's drive away. The port also has rail connections to many berths and well-used canal connections to West and South Yorkshire. The 310-acre Capitol Park distribution centre is conveniently located close by.
