Taste the Wild Coastal Foraging

Our one day coastal foraging Robin Hood’s Bay course is a great way to learn about the diversity of edible seaweed and coastal plants on our rocky coasts. We start off the day exploring the foreshore, looking at the seaweeds that we can harvest for food. Foraging on this beautiful piece of coastline is always an adventure. We will explain the identification and cooking of the different wild foods and the local conservation policy.

After a morning on the beach and rocks we return to the village with our foraged food. Lunch is a delicious two course lunch made using local and foraged ingredients. In the afternoon, we look at some of the edible plants that grow along the leafy pathways around Robin Hood’s Bay. This is an interesting little walk comprising woodland, grassland and streamside habitats. We are strong advocates of responsible and sustainable foraging and we will show you how to collect your wild edibles in a way that will have little impact on the landscape.

The minimum age for this coastal foraging course is 8 years, under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. The course fees do not include car parking charges. Please dress for the weather, wellies and waterproofs are usually best! Course Tutors - Totally Wild
