National Bike Week was celebrated in Ledbury with the launch of a unique Cider Cycle Route.

More than 30 cyclists set off from the Market House last Sunday (June 15), to follow a 20-mile circular route, with stop-off points at local producers including the Ledbury Cider and Perry Company, Dragon Orchard, Westons Cider Mill, Lyne Down Farm and Gregg's Pit.

The official launch took place at Westons, where mayor Keith Francis toasted "another first for Ledbury".

The route was designed by Bella Johnson, of the Ledbury Area Cycle Forum, in partnership with Herefordshire Tourism.

She said: "It was wonderful to see such a great turn out and so many cyclists making the most of lovely weather and the opportunity to sample some of our finest ciders."

More cider routes are scheduled to be developed in Herefordshire over the next three years.
