A new cycle map for cider drinkers will be launched by the mayor of Ledbury.

Coun Keith Francis will be joined by scores of other cyclists for a ride through scrumpy country on Sunday, June 15.

The Ledbury Area Cycle Forum, in partnership with Herefordshire Council, has devised a 20-mile circuit. The resulting map will be available from the Tourist Information Centre, Ledbury Books and Maps and bike shops in the area.

The cyclists on the inaugural ride will set out from Ledbury Market House at 10am and will stop for a cider reception at the Weston Cider Mill at 11.30am.

Cyclists will each get a free map and the opportunity to sample some cider.
