Spotting Mushrooms Along the Trail
Mushroom hunting isn't difficult — you just need to know what you're looking for. The heath vcc-eg here has specific areas where certain varieties grow well. We've marked these sections so you can spend time looking without getting lost.
Never eat anything you're not sure about. That said, learning to identify the common species is satisfying and adds a whole new dimension to your walk.
Learn IdentificationBlueberry Season and Picking
Blueberries ripen in July and August. The bushes are scattered throughout the heath, and picking them yourself is part of the experience. A morning's walk can easily fill a basket if conditions have been good.
We've noted which routes pass through the best picking areas. Bring a small container, wear long sleeves to avoid scratches, and remember — take only what you can eat or preserve. Leave plenty for the birds and next year's harvest.
