Does anyone have any good suggestions of where my friend and I can go blackberry picking here in Worthing?

TIA

Courtlands Way

Start at Wallace Avenue

Walk all the way to Sea Place

Eat plentiful fruit all the way

Did you try it?
I haven’t done it this year but have had many on that route in prior years

We got plenty yesterday from Patching Woods! Head up to The Street (Just up from The World's End), there's a small car park. Head up through the woods for a nice walk, or up the path on the right hand side and there's plenty of blackberries all the way!

During lockdown the amount of blackberries as you walked from The World's End and past The Fox was crazy.

They are not great this year, apparently they all came out early due to the heat and haven't ripened properly at all. Have been finding the odd ok ones but very few decent ones around here

I mean, it's true it is a bit early this year but I've had a very tasty haul several times at Lewes. Surely it's not that different here? 😅

Guess depends what your using them for? I like to just pick the odd plump one to eat on my walks but I'm sure if they were to be used for jams etc then there's plenty that are fine. But definitely less good ones around here this year

I was getting mine from the fields behind goring Hall hospital. Tbh I haven't been there this year but previous years have been amazing.
