The stunning Tissington Estate is situated a few miles outside Ashbourne in The Peak District. Its tranquil surroundings offer a wonderful environment in which to learn about wild edible plants and mushrooms.Blessed with an abundance of natural springs, its waters were believed to be the reason why the village escaped the plague in the later half of the 1600s.
With various route options available, the route of the walk could take in meadows, streams and woodland trails, or part of Tissington Hall's private gardens and woodland.
This foraging course walk is easy to reach of Derby, Ashbourne, Bakewell, Buxton, Stoke-on-Trent, Stockport, Macclesfield and Great Manchester.
When we meet up, we will go through laws and safety points of foraging before heading out to discover the wild food in the area.
The course includes (subject to Covid restrictions):
- an overview of foraging laws and safety best practice
- introduction to a number of edible species
- instruction on how to tell edible species apart from poisonous lookalikes
- information on where to find these species again
- recipe ideas
- wild food sample/s such as soup, jam, jelly, pesto, ferments, vinegar or cordial

Please note, we do not harvest species to take away on our courses.
We cannot guarantee what species will be growing on any given course date. Springtime and summer courses should be predominantly plant focused, with mushrooms sometimes found. Summer courses may also have fruits, flowers and perhaps some mushrooms to learn about. Autumn courses should have more mushrooms than springtime with sometimes a small amount of plants available.
