Taste Wordsworth's Wild Garlic   ACCESSIBILITY


Rydal Mount was the home of William Wordsworth from 1813 until his death in 1850.  The natural abundance and Beauty of the area inspired him to write much revered poems that have become a treasure of our cultural history.

On this experience we can literally live and ingest some of the local fauna that inspired him in his favourite scenes and regular strolls.






We begin with a relaxing and breathtaking stroll around the woodlands of Rydal Water to forage for wild garlic and anything else we can use as fresh wild ingredients.  There will be some fun, games and interaction if children are present.

We will then head back to The Hermitage to set up our cookery camp beside the river.

I will then teach you the best ways to prepare, preserve and cook with wild garlic before we feast around the fire.

A swim and riverside sauna is optional.

Adults - £60
Children - £15
