Foraging Experiences in Northumberland
Rooted in Northumberland, The Cramlington Forager was created to encourage people to connect more deeply with the land through the gathering of wild edibles. From beneath the shelter of the hedgerows to the dramatic and untamed coastline of the North Sea, Northumberland is rich in edible plants, fruits, mushrooms and flowers.
If you know where to look.
​
From Tyne to Tweed I lead guided foraging walks and workshops across the North-East of England. I invite you to come along and discover how to safely and sustainably gather and identify delicious wild edibles straight from the land. We’ll explore native tastes and flavours, learn how wild herbs can be used in traditional remedies, and I'll share with you my own experiences with cooking and preserving nature's bounty. You'll leave with a wider understanding of the land beneath your feet and the seasons that shape it, and a skill that is not only practical but grounding.
You may never look at a hedgerow in the same way again.
