We offer fully guided outdoors experiences with a difference !
Foraging walks and Workshops, Unique On-Farm Heritage events, Hill-Walking, Mountain skills training all set in the historic Ring of Gullion, Mourne and Cooley Mountains, a largely undiscovered area of outstanding natural beauty that makes up the borderlands of East Ulster, the gate way to Irelands Ancient East.
Foraging for wild edible and medicinal plants, fungi and seaweeds is a way of life for us. Brian will share with you what has been handed down in his family through countless generations. He has spent a lifetime trying to reconnect with much of that tacit knowledge that has been forgotten but all the time, still there just below the surface.
Folklore, Plantlore, Fairies, Old Medicinal Charms and Cures whispered at the hearthside many of which are now being proven scentifically.
We care about the environment. We care about the local communities where we operate. How We Reduce Our Environmental Impact and at the same time have a beneficial impact in our own local communities
