Explore the beach and rocky shore, or tidal mudflats and estuaries to learn about the marine environment and uncover edible seafood, where to find or catch it, and enjoy an insight into local history at the same time.
After you have found your foraged ingredients, from mussels to plants and crabs, you will be able to cook up a feast with your rich culinary pickings right there and then on a hand-made Solva Stove (a.k.a. Swedish Candle).
Enjoy a 10% discount on your course when you stay at Twr y Felin hotel, Roch Castle or Penrhiw Priory – the code will be sent to you following a confirmed booking. Children under 16 go free.
Coastal Foraging Classic Course
Spring / Summer (1st April – 30th September)
Autumn / Winter (30th September – 31st March)
Extreme Low Tide Course (only available 12 to 14 times each year)
In addition to the Classic Course, the tidal range is more extensive, exposing a significantly greater portion of the lower shore, which increases the potential for discovering deep-water species.
