What you can expect

  • Join a guided foraging tour in Woolacombe, led by local forager and organic vegetable grower Heath Bunting. Explore the diverse coastal habitats, clean Atlantic waters, rocky shores, cliffs, dunes, and rock pools of the North Devon coast.

    Discover the rich intertidal and rocky shores, with a mix of sandy beaches and rocky sections. Access the full intertidal zone during low tides, which are particularly productive around the spring equinox for tender new growth.

    Find abundant edible seaweeds, including pepper dulse, sugar kelp, laver, red thongweed, sea lettuce, dulse, and various wracks. Explore the cliffs, combes, and upper shore areas, which support plenty of edible plants such as rock samphire, sea beetroot, sea rocket, navelwort, sandwort, and others.

    Learn about the dunes and coastal heathland, which add wildflowers, berries, and other edibles in season, with good biodiversity supported by National Trust management. Discover rock pools teeming with marine life, and learn about shellfish opportunities if found in abundance.

    Explore varied foraging spots on foot, from dunes to headlands, with proximity to the South West Coast Path. Learn about the clean waters and exposure to the Atlantic, which support healthy, nutrient-rich growth.
