Hidden Delights: Foraging Experiences

Think moss-kissed mushrooms, delicate wild berries, and aromatic herbs handpicked from nature's formidable pantry. Embracing the allure of the untamed, foraging has not only become an elegant pastime but a symbol of sophistication. It is an intimate journey where the discerning palate uncovers hidden treasures amidst the unspoiled landscapes, culminating in a truly unique and immersive dining experience. Prepare to indulge in foraging - a symphony for the senses.

Looking north to Scotland, we find the land of rugged terrain, wild forests, and the freshest produce imaginable. To delve into foraging here is to savour the unique flavours of Scotland's flora and fauna. Whether you're an avid forager or a curious beginner, with a little guidance, you can head outdoors and experience the magic of this pursuit in Scotland.

Imagine stepping into a world where the land becomes your pantry, with delicious treasures waiting to be discovered. At Cromlix, nestled near the charming town of Dunblane, you can be guided through foraging across the 34 acres of private grounds and woodlands. Cromlix offers bespoke guided walks and workshops that provide an immersive experience in this art.

A family-owned hotel, Cromlix understands the importance of family connection and the joy of learning together – and foraging doesn’t have to just be for adults. Lauren's foraging classes can be adapted to cater to all age groups, ensuring that everyone can participate and enjoy the experience. Children, accompanied by a paying adult, are more than welcome to join in on the adventure. It's never too early to ignite a love for nature and instil an understanding of sustainable practices. The weather won’t hold you back either, with wellies and umbrellas readily available to borrow from the hotel.

For those seeking a more immersive experience, Cromlix offers the option to combine the session with a take-home workshop item. Whether it's creating herbal spa salt or crafting a forager's hand cream, these workshops provide a deeper understanding of the plants and their diverse uses. It's an opportunity to bring a piece of your adventure back home, allowing you to continue the journey and relive the enchantment of Cromlix.
