A 154-MILE circular walking trail has been relaunched in Herefordshire with over 100 walkers taking it on.
The walking route has been given 2,000 new golden way markers, pathways have been cleared, and a campaign by Visit Herefordshire is urging people to #FollowTheApple.
It relaunched last Friday, June 17, with walkers setting off to tackle every inch of the trail in 15 groups led by different guides.

On the Ledbury to Much Marcle leg, guided by James Marston, a lady called Marika Kovacs joined the group.
She is the chair of the Hereford Ramblers group and has a visual impairment, accompanied by Angela Martin of the new CIC Accessible Herefordshire.
A spokesperson from Visit Herefordshire said: "it was incredible, she is incredible with birds, and she was telling the group about all the different bird song along the way."
The first group to set off was the section two walk from Ross-on-Wye to Little Dewchurch, led by Hereford and South Herefordshire MP, Jesse Norman.
The youngest to take part was nine-month-old Tomos Skinner who is the son of Anna and Luke Skinner who led the seventh section of the walk from Peterchurch to Whitney-on-Wye.
