Cumbria and the Lake District is a forager’s dream, a wild garden of hedgerows, woodland and coastline a natural larder ready to be plundered. Hawthorn berries and fields of mallow; mushrooms, rosehip and elderflower; wild sorrel, wild garlic and bistort. Clamber by the water and fill your basket with sea spinach, sea cabbage, sea kale and seaweed.
Nature’s pantry is available to all, whether you’re a beginner learning about bushcraft and foraging on a fungi foray or a Michelin-starred chef looking to enhance a dish with the flavours of the forest.
The Lake District, Cumbria is foodie paradise
