The beautiful Hinchingbrooke Country Park, located in Huntingdon, is the perfect place to learn how to forage for edible plants and fungi growing all around us in the UK. This foraging course is easy to get to from Peterbrough, Northampton, Bedford, and Cambridge.

 

At this species-rich venue, you'll discover how to identify some commonly growing foods to forage for, how to avoid poisonous lookalikes, and hints on where to look.

​

When we meet up, we will go through laws and safety points of foraging before heading out to discover the wild food in the area.

​

Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted on the course.

​

We cannot guarantee what species will be growing on any given course date. As a rough guide, Springtime and summer courses should be predominantly plant focused, with mushrooms sometimes found; Summer courses should also have fruits and flowers to learn about, and Autumn courses should be mostly mushroom-focused with a small amount of plants available
