There's still some great places to ride legally in the Uk. Granted there are more and more restrctions but we regularly travel to the Uk and ride some great trails all over the country . You just need to find the locals with the knowldge and lose yourself in the countryside with them . I was in Yorkshire in May this year and rode some fantastic trails in the Dales including one called "deadman's hill" which almost killed us on BMW GS's but what fun when we conquered it !!!
Belgium has some but they are not the sort of trails you can ride for hours without seeing anyone or getting on the asphalt but we have some fun nonetheless. Same in Holland but you need some local advice. The further east you go the more relaxed the rules and therefore the trails are less abused by endless 4x4's and MX bikes and the locals don't care so much. I hear Romania is great but I haven't tried it myself. pretty much all of Western Europe is protected by one or other Eco wrrior policing which is understandable because without it , there would be no countryside left .
