Testimonials

Thank you for a fun-filled seaweed foraging foray. Much information was gleaned in beautiful, secluded surroundings. Congratulations on the banquet served on the beach from our "findings": from seaweed flatbread to mussels and shrimps broth festooned with spaghetti seaweed.

I loved the day, just what I needed!

Thanks for the pics and recipes. The foraging expedition made for an enjoyable and absorbing day so I hope to make it back to Pembrokeshire before too long.

Thanks Julia. Back home in Kent now. We really enjoyed our walk and will definitely be in touch again. Especially enjoyed the sorrel, wild leek thingy and Alexanders.

Thank you for the email! Have had a busy weekend foraging and preserving. I have got sloe gin on the go now, and have made saucy haw ketchup (interesting name!) and tarragon crabapple jelly. Will also be making spiced crab apple jelly next weekend.
Looking forward to attending another course when we are in St Davids again!

We both loved the forage walk and will probably come on a few of your other walks next year. I did cook the seaweed in my slow cooker then fried it up for breakfast the next morning. It was tasty but could have done with a few more seasoning elements. Next time I'll add some bacon and garlic I think.
See you soon,

It's time to go wild!

...really wild

The unique beauty, history and spiritual aura of St Davids, Britain's smallest City, and its surrounding landscape continues to attract pilgrims and visitors from all over the world. Its Gulf Stream climate, the stunning coastline that was shaped by the sea, its wildlife and ancient landscape lies within the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only coastal National Park in Great Britain.

This beautiful area has recently received two new accolades:- UK readers of Coast Magazine have voted the 186 mile coastal path as their favourite, and National Geographic Magazine have rated the Pembrokeshire Coast with its 50 beaches as joint 2^nd best coastal destination in the world!!

So what better and more appropriate place could there be to discover your 'inner forager'!!

It isn't all about food though! Foraging is just 'gathering or 'searching' or 'rummaging' so covers all manner of pastimes in all sorts of locations!! On these Really Wild Days you can choose a course to forage for ingredients for medicines, cosmetics, or foods and drinks…..and plenty more…….!

These courses are a great way for the curious to learn about wild produce, and the lanes, green byways and coastline around the historic Cathedral City of St Davids will provide much to inspire you. Each course will take a different format, but the people who will lead you on your day of exploration are all passionate about the countryside, what it can offer and how we can make the most of it.

On some of the days you will cook and eat what you have gathered whilst you are out, maybe on the beach, or in a sheltered field corner with glorious views. On other days (or if the weather is bad) gathered ingredients will be discussed and cooked by us together at the Old Carpenters Arms, in Goat Street. The workshops about medicines, remedies and cosmetics will be provided with a Really Wild lunch at the above address.

If there is not a day to suit you and your group then please get in touch and we shall try and tailor one to fit in with you.
