Approximately 6 adults and 10 children attended a wild food walk, near Durham City, led by local food enthusiast Wilf Richards.

The walk started at The Pump House restaurant near Houghall College, headed down to Houghall Farm, cut across the field to Great High Wood, followed the bottom of the woods to the A177 main road, skirted around Maiden Hill, popped over the River Wear and finished at Old Durham.

If a map of the Necklace Park was to be served on a plate what would it look like, or more importantly what would it taste like?

Would it include the wild garlic that grows so abundatly, or perhaps the local fungi? The apples from old Durham Gardens? Elderflower? Beef that may once have been one of our curious (or even the affectionate) cows? or vegetables straight from the earth of someone's allotment?

How many food miles would be represented by the map?

For over 35 years I have been going to Durham market for everything from health foods to chips and gravy! There must be loads of other places along the river which people could get a snack to a posh meal!
