WILD FOOD TASTER WALKS | back
Price £15 per person
2 Hour Walks | Under 16s Free


2 hour guided walks in various locations around West Cornwall. Winter and Spring walks often start at the Fat Hen headquarters and late Spring and Summer walks at various coastal and inland locations around the Penwith Peninsula. The walks take place throughout the year between February and November, though I am happy to lead walks all through the winter so just contact me to book a date.

During the walks Caroline will show you the edible wild herbs, flowers, fungi, seeds, roots, seaweeds, berries, salads and vegetables in season. Each walk takes in 2 or more of the following habitats: hedgerows, waysides, fields, seashores, clifftops, streams and woodland.

You will learn about the culinary and medicinal uses for these plants and historical facts about how they came to be where they are in our semi-wild landscape. You will discover how to incorporate these plants into your diet in a creative and delicious way and will be inspired to try some of the Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Far Eastern and traditional British recipes that Caroline will recount to you during the walk.

Caroline will teach you how to forage sustainably, legally and with an awareness of the dangers of picking poisonous or contaminated plants.

These walks are ideal for anyone with an interest in the countryside, food and nature. They are a great way of re-connecting with the source of our food and will leave you feeling invigorated and wanting to learn more.

If you can't find a date that suits you on the calendar please contact Caroline to arrange a private walk in the location of your choice anywhere in Cornwall (minimum price £50 or £15 per person for a private walk + travel expenses at 0.35p/mile).
