Yorkshire Dales, Linton Spring Foraging Courses

We’re looking forward to coming back to Linton, a lovely little village in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. With a village green, riverside and a meadow we hope to find a range of tasty wild edibles throughout spring and summer.

We’ll be meeting at The Fountaine Inn, a welcoming country pub with interesting walks in every direction. It is within easy reach of Grassington, Skipton, Keighley, Harrogate and Ilkley.

The course starts there with a short introduction on what to look for, our foraging code and a brief of the Countryside Act, where it relates to foraging. Drinks are available from the pub.

Then we’ll set off on a roughly 2.5 hour walk around the village and along the Linton Beck, teaching you how to identify the different edible and poisonous plants, flowers, fruits and mushrooms that we find.

We will stop along the way for some seasonal homemade refreshments such as our lovely hogweed and wild garlic soup, elderflower champagne or fruit leathers.

Then it’s back to the Fountaine Inn for a wild food lunch based on what we have found. All of our food is seasonal so what we make depends on recent weather and what is around at that time of year. In spring we will be making use of the fresh wild greens and in summer the wild berries and mushrooms.

After the course we will email you a list of everything we talk about on the day; to help you remember what you have learnt.
