Never eat anything you cannot identify with 100% certainty.

This is a guide, not a substitute for expert identification. Foraging guides - including this one - can contain errors. If you are not completely certain of an identification, do not eat it. Cross-check against at least two independent sources, and when in doubt, consult a local foraging expert or an experienced forager in person before eating anything wild.

Bradgate Park is an 850-acre public park in the Charnwood Forest area of Leicestershire, grazed by deer since medieval times and holding the ruins of Lady Jane Grey's family home. Its open moorland, bracken and ancient oak spinneys sit on some of England's oldest exposed rock and see very heavy visitor footfall.

Soil: thin, acidic soils over Precambrian volcanic rock (Charnwood Forest geology)

Dominant species: ancient oak in scattered spinneys

Parking: Pay car parks at Newtown Linford and Hallgates entrances
