Here are some favourite locations to forage for wild edibles in Cornwall, but we also love to explore new places and teach how to forage on your very own doorstep.

Gyllyngvase

Gyllyngvase Beach is in the heart of Falmouth Town and easily reached by train or bus if you use public transport.

Crantock & The Gannel

Crantock Beach and The Gannel Estuary in Newquay offers five different habitats so it is rich in biodiversity.
