Foraging Walk at Symondsbury Estate

Discover the wild foods growing right under your nose! Join expert forager Nick Phillips for a fun and informative walk through Symondsbury Estate.

Take a step back from the hustle and reconnect with nature on a guided foraging walk through the beautiful Symondsbury Estate. Led by expert forager Nick Phillips, you’ll discover the edible plants, mushrooms, and flowers that grow naturally in the wild. Learn how these treasures can be used in cooking, herbal teas, and for their medicinal benefits – all while enjoying the peaceful surroundings.

As you explore, Nick will share fascinating stories about the plants and fungi you encounter, as well as how they’ve been used for generations.

“One of the things I really love about foraging is the buzz that I feel after eating something that I’ve just picked, processed, cooked and eaten.”

This experience is perfect for those who appreciate the simple joys of nature and the benefits of nourishing, wild food.

“I would love and implore anyone who just feels like they are misunderstanding the world to step outside and give it one more chance”

Whether you’re a nature lover, outdoor enthusiast, or interested in foraging, this walk is a fantastic opportunity to deepen your connection with the natural world.

Along the way, you’ll be entertained and informed with the folklore, medicinal, and survival properties of the plants and fungi you discover. You’ll leave with valuable skills to identify local flora and a new appreciation for the plants that surround us.
