We are delighted to have access to privately owned coastal areas in North Norfolk to introduce you to wild edibles that grow in and near to these areas. 

The shoreline used for this course is located on outskirts of the coastal town of Hunstanton and offers a wonderful place to learn about edible plants tolerant of salty and mineral rich conditions. 

This foraging course walk is easy to reach from Norwich, Fakenham, Sandringham, King's Lynn, Cromer, Swaffham, Thetford and Great Yarmouth.

On this course, you will discover how to identify some commonly growing coastal foods to forage for, how to avoid poisonous lookalikes, and hints on where to look.

The course includes: 
- an overview of foraging laws and safety best practice 
- advice on sustainability and mindful practice
- exploration of the venue introduction to a number of edible species 
- instruction on how to tell edible species apart from poisonous lookalikes 
- information on where to find these species again 
- recipe ideas 
- wild food treats to sample 
- digital information sheet sent after the course 

Samples of tasty wild food treats can include soups, pestos, salts, pickles, syrups, cordials, jams, jellies, leathers, vinegars, and preserves. All are either 100% plant/fungi-based or have a 100% plant/fungi-based alternative.

This is an educational course, there is no harvesting during the course. Samples are picked for identification purposes only.

We cannot guarantee what species will be growing on any given course date - this is the nature of foraging. As a rough guide, springtime and summer courses should be predominantly plant focused, with mushrooms sometimes found. Summer courses may also have fruits and flowers to learn about, with some mushrooms. Autumn courses at other venues should be more mushroom-focused than spring or summer courses but this is dependant on weather conditions preceding the course. This venue's autumn courses are coastal-plant focussed.
