Northumberland rockhounding: before you go
Permission and private land
Rules differ across England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, but none of them grant a general right to collect on private land. Ask the landowner before visiting mine dumps, quarries, or fields.
Beaches and foreshore
Casual pebble collecting is generally tolerated on beaches and public foreshore, much of which is Crown Estate. Watch tides, stay off cliff faces, and check local bylaws.
Protected sites
SSSIs, National Nature Reserves, and scheduled monuments are protected by law, and UK national parks are mostly private land inside a designation rather than open collecting ground. Never hammer or dig at a designated site.
