It is responsible for the Driffield Navigation which is the waterway extending from the market town of Driffield along the Driffield Canal and then the River Hull southwards as far as Aike. The total length of the waterway classed as the Driffield Navigation is 11 miles (18 km). West Beck and Frodingham Beck are associated with this system.
The DNT welcomes donations and legacies.
It is important that the maintenance and administration of the Driffield Navigation for commercial, leisure and recreational purposes is properly funded, and that in addition to this all environmental, conservation and heritage matters receive attention. Such work benefits children, young people and the public in general, including wildlife.
Boat owners are asked to ensure that they pay their annual boat fee of £60 (all except small craft such as canoes and kayaks), and boat clubs are asked to pay a reasonable donation in lieu of individual annual fees on behalf of their members.
Small boat users are asked to note that there is a fee of £5 per day for the launching of dinghies, canoes or other craft at North Frodingham Landing. Under 17s no charge. Honesty boxes for this purpose are provided at North Frodingham landing, Brigham Bridge and Riverhead at Driffield. Regular users with small boats are requested to pay an annual fee of £40.
All payments should be sent to the DNT Treasurer, Mr Peter Markham, at the DNT Registered Office (address above).
