Coastal Foraging Workshops at Robin Hoods Bay

Coastal Foraging is a great mindful activity. It's 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 foraged 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 focused activity.  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)
• The workshops we recommend in this blog are on our doorstep, so there is no need to worry about parking if you are staying with us.
