Guided Coastal Foraging Sessions
in Cornwall
Swap bubbles for rockpools (just for a morning). Our guided coastal foraging sessions are relaxed, hands-on walks along Cornwall’s shoreline where you’ll learn to identify edible seaweeds and coastal plants, understand tides and habitats, and forage responsibly.
Whether you’re a curious foodie, a nature-lover, or you just want a new way to explore the Roseland Peninsula, this is a brilliant, low-pressure adventure that leaves you seeing the coast with completely fresh eyes.
Not interested in taking seafood or seaweeds that’s good too, the sessions are more exploring and seeing what we can find rather than finding seafood to eat!
What you’ll experience
A guided shoreline walk focused on safe identification and responsible harvesting
Seasonal finds (what we look for changes week to week)
Simple, practical tips for cleaning, storing, and using what you gather
Coastal ecology stories: why certain species thrive where they do
Plenty of time for questions, photos, and a slower pace
What we forage (seasonal)
Every session is tide- and season-led. Depending on conditions, we may cover:
Seaweeds (the stars of the shoreline): common edible varieties and how to harvest sustainably
Coastal plants found along paths, dunes, and edges (where appropriate)
Sea-food Lobsters, crabs, mussels, scallops (all season dependent and adhereing to IFCA guidelines).
Foraging “look-alikes”: what to avoid and how to stay confident
If we’re not 100% sure about an ID, we don’t pick it. Simple as that.
Who it’s for
Beginners who want a safe, guided introduction
Families with older children who love rockpools and wildlife
Visitors looking for a uniquely Cornish experience
Locals who walk the coast all the time and want to learn what they’re walking past
No previous knowledge needed—just curiosity.
