Zeebrugge is a village and port located on the coast of Belgium and lies on the North Sea coast. Due to its proximity to major industrial cities in Europe, and because of its transport links, it has become a hub for traffic from all directions. Zeebrugge is also Belgium's most important fishing port and the fish market located there is one of Europe's largest. The harbour was the site of the Zeebrugge Raid on 23 April 1918, when the British Royal Navy put the German inland naval base at Bruges out of action. Admiral Roger Keyes planned and led the assault that stormed the German batteries and sank the ships in the harbour to block the entrance to the base for the last seven months of World War I.
Most of the passengers passing through the port are either enjoying a luxury cruise or crossing by ferry to Hull and Rosyth in the UK. Facilities at the port include several shops, a cafe and comfortable waiting areas.
The city of Hull, or Kingston-Upon-Hull to give it its full name, is a port that lies at the confluence of the River Hull and the Humber Estuary and has been a gateway to the heart of England since Roman times. The town was founded by King Edward I (1272 - 1307) who needed a secure port where his army could be supplied from, who were fighting the Scots at the time.
Hull's modern city is a large and busy city with many shops and facilities. There are a number of traffic free streets in the city which makes it a pleasant place to wander around and perhaps take in some of the open air entertainment that is on offer during the spring and summer. The glass covered Princes Quay is one of the country's most scenic shopping centres and rose from the water to sit above Prince's Dock. As one of the area’s largest shopping centres, it links the old and new parts of the town, leading to the heart of the city with sweeping views of the rejuvenated docklands.
