Dewberry
The European dewberry, Rubus caesius, grows more upright like other brambles, but is frequently restricted to coastal communities, especially sand dune systems. Its fruits are a deep, almost black, purple and are coated with a thin layer or 'dew' of waxy droplets.
These soft and succulent berries don't have a great difference in flavour to a blackberry - just a little sharper and can be found growing low and rambling the ground in damp woods and scrubland.
The biggest problem when looking for these berries is trying to avoid areas where people walk dogs, as they are at the perfect height to be a canine toilet!
