About the experience
Get back to basics as you learn how to forage for food in the beautiful nature surrounding Rydal Mount's ancient woodlands in Cumbria! If you're fed up with your routine visits to the supermarkets and fancy a challenge, why not learn how to enjoy the fruits of nature? With an expert host, you'll learn all about edible mushrooms and how to identify them and the plants available on our doorstep that are full of nutrition. As you explore the beauty of Cumbria and fill up your basket with nature's bounty, you'll be gathering ingredients for a meal you'll later cook on an open fire along the banks of the river. Soon you'll get to realise just how much can be enjoyed or free, and without a trip to the local supermarket as you fill your bellies with delicious mushrooms, fresh herbs and a range of nutritious plants. For the chance to escape from the modern world of convenience, spend some time outdoors and perfect the art of foraging - look no further! For a relaxing experience all around and the chance to reconnect with the natural world, this Feasting and Foraging Experience in Cumbria will be right up your street.
