if your up here next year, try rossendale where i live. i got mine from a secret location, however theres a huge hill named after the berry, that might be a bit of a hint as to what you'll find there!!

never thought of winberry muffins, ive been baking bread for a while now and they would make a nice addition

thanks for the replies

ps, do you live near me green thing?

Whinberry actually Whimberries Also known as bilberries, whortleberries. We used to pick them from the moors when we were children in Devon.

Is it Rubus phoenicolasius?

I got something that looks entirely different when I googled for wineberry

*still confused*

That's because winberries are not wineberries

, but you can make wine from winberries.

That hasn't helped. The plant in your link is Vaccinium myrtillus (looks like a sloe) - but the one I was looking at looks like a raspberry

Correct! Winberries are Vaccinium myrtillus. In real life they're nothing like sloes. Little bushy plants with little squishy berries on them.
