About This Walk
Our first foray to Buckinghamshire with Eat The Country but not the first time I’ve foraged there. Rolling countryside, woods, hedgerows in Early May are one of the absolute delights of foraging. We’ll go on a 2-2.5 hour walk and end up at a wonderful country pub where we’ll talk about what we’ve learned.
There’ll be a few foraged snacks and ‘Booze from the Bushes’ to enjoy along the way too.
*Dogs welcome
*Kids (under 12) go free!
