The Ledbury and Bromyard areas feature heavily in this year's programme for the Herefordshire Walking Festival.

The festival will take place from June 14 to 22 and will make use of 2,100 rights of way throughout the county.

Local highlights will include a stroll on Bringsty Common, a steep descent into the valley of White Leaved Oak and a tramp among the cider orchards of Marcle Ridge.

There will be chance to visit the historic manor house of Hellens, at Much Marcle, and the offer to take the train from Colwall to Ledbury, then make it back on foot through orchards and woods to a picnic lunch on Oyster Hill.

As a separate attraction, a bus journey from Ledbury to Bromyard will allow walkers to take the Herefordshire Trail back through Bishops Frome, Bosbury, Coddington and Wellington Heath.

Programmes are available now at Ledbury Tourist Information Centre, in The Homend.
