Organisers of Otter Valley Association (OVA) walks have expressed their delight at the increased interest in their treks.
This year, on average, there have been 10 walkers taking part in the events, which take place across the Otter Valley.
Walk organiser Mike Paddison said: “There has been a great increase in the number of people who come on our walks.
“I think we get more and more new members coming on board all the time.”
There was another good turn-out for the organisation’s latest eight-and-a-half mile walk around the countryside surrounding Otterton, which showcased the South West Coast Path.
