Enjoy a day of foraging in the beautiful Finnebrogue Woods.

Learn from our bushcraft team as they lead you on your foraging walk through the Woods or along the Lecale Coastline. We run a number of foraging courses, specialising in different areas.

For 2026 we have, Mushroom Foray, Medicinal Foraging, Wild Food Foraging and Coastal Foraging.

One of our bushcraft instructors will safely guide you through identifying and collecting seasonal greens, herbs, vegetables, fungi and berries. You will explore, taste and nibble your way through the woods. For the Coastal Foraging experience you will make your way along the Lecale Way meeting and returning to Ballyhornan Car Park.

Armed with your forager's basket, you can enjoy collecting seasonal edibles whilst also exploring the stunning woods or coastline. Don't worry, our instructors will be on hand to help identify what can safely be eaten and also to point out the more sinister lookalikes to avoid!

The time of year and course selected will determine what you find in the wild.

As we know foraging is hungry and thirsty work, all foraging courses also includes a campfire lunch.
