Description

Forage the land at Goongillings Farm near Constantine, and take a stunning walk down to the Creek’s edge of the Helford River.  We will spend 3 hours foraging through woodland, fields and around the Helford, after which we will feast on a smorgasboard of wild food dishes, showcasing seaweeds, estuary greens, wild herbs, flowers, salads and vegetables.  Local fish and game is also included in the lunch.  Examples of some of the dishes you may experience on one of these days are:

• • seaweed & miso soup
  • wild herb focaccia
  • seaweed & wild garlic tortilla with sorrel aioli
  • crispy laver seaweed with chilli and salt
  • Vietnamese summer rolls with teriyaki tofu, wild herbs and almond satay
  • bulghar wheat dolmades wrapped in fig leaves and spiced with wild spices
  • brown rice sushi with home smoked mackerel and siracha pickled vegetables
  • venison carpaccio with hazelnut, shallots and horseradish
  • soused mackerel
  • mackerel pate with ponzu
  • nettle, lemon and elderflower cake
  • blackberry/wild strawberry vegan cheesecake
  • sparkling elderflower refreshments
  • wild teas: hawthorn, rosebary willowherb, mugwort

After the lunch we will indulge ourselves for 4 hours in the most stunning wild spa at Retallack woodlands. https://www.retallackwoodlands.co.uk/quarry-spa

Ferns and foxgloves fringe the spring-fed swimming lake.  Arriving at the wild spa is like arriving at the secret garden. Logs from their trees fire the hot-tub and sauna. Sunlight powers the piping-hot showers located in the most rustic of log cabins.  The glass fronted state of the art sauna is nestled on the side of the lake so that you feel totally immersed in the wild surroundings.

There is a complete sense of wonderment and joy at this spa, dipping in the fresh water, hanging out on the soft grass, jumping in the hot tub.  There is even a slide into the lake if you’re feeling playful.

If you want a massive dose of wellbeing, this is the experience to join us on!
