The harbour mouth, mud, reed and stream corridor support waders, kingfishers, eels, trout and otter, while a short walk links you toward the Gorge, Downs and remnant parkland such as Old Sneed Park. The walk treats this layered landscape as both pantry and classroom.What the walk coversExpect a practical 1.5-hour (or similar) session focused on what is actually growing and in season. Typical themes include:- Identification and modest, personal-use foraging of wild edibles (the “Four Fs” — fruit, fungi, flowers, foliage — from plants growing wild), plus trees and common fungi where present- Sustainable picking: take little, leave plenty, stay off planted or recovering ground, never uproot without permission- Bushcraft and simple survival skills- Medicinal plants in folk tradition and their limits- Poisonous lookalikes (hemlock water-dropwort, deadly nightshade, foxglove, yew and others)- Wild saponin plants used as traditional soaps (soapwort and related species)- Cultivation, cuttings and seed collection/sowing for local genetics- Food processing and preservation (drying, freezing, jams, fermenting)- Climate adaptation, rewilding and how small urban sites can still support wildlife- Indigenous / historic human use of these habitatsGroups are kept small. The tone is hands-on and place-specific rather than a lecture.Practical detailsKids (often 15 or under) go free. Dogs are welcome. Wear seasonal, all-weather clothing and sturdy footwear; paths can be muddy and the ground is uneven. Moderate fitness is required.The site is free and open; there are typically no toilets or bins — take rubbish home. Foraging here is subject to national law (Theft Act 1968 s.4(3), Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981) and local park/open-space byelaws: personal, non-commercial picking of common wild plants is generally allowed where you have lawful access; uprooting, commercial collection, protected species and designated-site restrictions are not. Follow the guide’s lead and local practice.About the walk leaderHeath Bunting (Bristol-based artist and forager) has run guided walks in Avon Gorge, Sea Mills, Brandon Hill and Hampstead Heath for over twenty years. He frames urban nature as a working landscape for knowledge-sharing, access and everyday provisioning.Bring curiosity and a bag for a small personal harvest if conditions allow.Contact 07935 986 421 if lost or delayed.Meet at Sea Mills Railways Station, Sea Mills, Bristol BS9 1DXEmail heathbunting@irational.org for group bookings. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/6ee03fc0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1102-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/6f113ad0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1056-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events9/banners/6f3eda80-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1132-h740-dc787848-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/6f79c0a0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1110-h740-dc383808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/6fb458a0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1072-h740-dc589808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events4/banners/702c95e0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w987-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/70655920-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1080-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/70aa5160-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w987-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/70e389d0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1110-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/7120b9e0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w1089-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events5/banners/715389b0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w987-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/71dc1aa0-b96d-11f1-8d84-a9b83c809acc-rimg-w987-h740-dc080808-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/bristol/october-sea-mills-bristol-wild-food-foraging-forager-walk/100002000155081692 - **Event Categories**: fitness, Art, Kids - **Slot details of has slots**: - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Sea Mills Train Station - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 16.96, max: 16.96, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Bristol - **state**: EN - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Sea Mills Train Station - **lat**: 51.4799833 - **long**: -2.6499512 - **full address**: Sea Mills Train Station, Portway, Bristol, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: October Sea Mills (Bristol) Wild Food Foraging/ Forager Walk. - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/37e4f3c8d91f9510f94bf84bb0b596ad5ccac32025f18ae086153dc1404dbf2b-rimg-w1200-h585-dc08f808-gmir.jpg?v=1789408325 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is October Sea Mills (Bristol) Wild Food Foraging/ Forager Walk. being held?
