1Wild foraging in Abergavenny

The Angel is an historic inn at the centre of Abergavenny’s foodie-friendly town and a base for foraging walks at the foot of the Black Mountains. Local wild food expert, Adele Nozedar, is the author of the The Hedgerow Handbook and will lead the walks, aiming to equip foragers with the knowledge to help them find and eat their own wild food. On selected dates in October she will help visitors discover autumn berries – including hawthorn, rosehips and sloes – as well as mushrooms and green wild food. Abergavenny is bursting with quality farm shops, cafes and restaurants, while The Angel offers not only hotel rooms but two comfortable cottages and a lodge in the grounds of Abergavenny Castle too.
