Wild Food Foraging at Alnmouth

It  is a common belief that you need to live deep in the countryside to enjoy foraging, but there is an abundance of wild food growing along the coastline. A wild and rugged environment, many plants thrive out on the coast, and there are even a few which can only be found there.

Come along to a Wild Food Foraging Walk and explore the incredible abundance of wild edibles, as we take a walk along the estuary of the River Aln, and along the coast at Alnmouth.
