Coastal Foraging Workshops at Robin Hoods Bay
Coastal Foraging is a great mindful activity and its so uplifting when you're exploring a beautiful coastal location like Robin Hood's Bay.
With an experienced guide you can find out about delicious wild foods that grow at the Yorkshire coast and learn how to forage for yourself!
Some coastal guides even offer you an opportunity for you to get taste forraged foods with tasters or a cook-up included in the experience.
Workshops usually include:
- an introduction outlining foraging tips, safety, ethics, etiquette and law
- a walk taking in different growing environments around the coast
- a closer look at edible wild species and any poisonous lookalikes by a professional forager, including seaweed, shellfish and coastal plants
Foraging is a great way to immerse yourself in nature with a focus. Like forest bathing, the workshops offer a chance to slow the pace of modern life down, meet new people and immerse yourself in a soul-nourishing activity, reconnecting with nature and discovering new flavours.
What to bring:
- Walking boots or wellies
- Weather-appropriate clothes, including a waterproof coat
- A drink and a snack
- A foraging basket (the reusable mesh bags offered by supermarkets are ideal)
