Mudlarking and Beachcombing

I would love to go mudlarking when I visit England this spring - but there don’t appear to be many opportunities to do it legally in London. Does anybody know of a good place to go outside of London? Or just good places to beachcomb. I love to walk the strand line anywhere I go.

You need a special permit to mudlark on the Thames and is very difficult to get one even for UK residents. But I believe you can do guided tours with a permitted person (here's an example: https://thames-explorer.org.uk/guided-tours/). You can't keep any of the artifacts though.

Hopefully some of our UK forum folk will weigh in on other options for you.
