Hunting for Hardscape - where to?

[PedroB]

Hello everyone!

Back in Portugal I used to hike around national parks/forests and get a nice supply of rocks and driftwood, but since I moved to Leicester and have not explored the great outdoors apart from the city centre parks I don't know where else to collect yet.

It would be nice if we could share where in our cities to get these kinds of materials and what type we can get.

For example: "Blue Lagoon park - oak driftwood, basalt rock"

Thank you

Hi all,
I don't know how easy it would be for you to get to it, but the "Charnwood Forest", NW of Leicester towards Ashby-de- la Zouch should be ideal.

I live by the sea. We have a beach. It's great for round smooth stones but I want jagged rocks (and a sandy beach )

I just want a lake or river with some driftwood... I really need to go explore.
