Hi and welcome to BCUK Marcus.

Does not look like Yarrow to me.

Maybe something like Cow Parsley.

I am sure someone on here will give you a positive ID.

Cheers

George

Looks like cow parsley to me from your pictures.

Yarrow has a feather-like leaf structure.

See below:

The plant (as far as possible to tell from the photos) is Cow Parsley - Anthriscus sylvestris. A very common plant. It usually flowers from may till June. I can see you posted this at the end of June/beginning of July, and that you appear to be in a shaded, wooded area. Therefore, the timing seems O.K.
Myo.

Thank you for the help, in that case I've not managed to find yarrow so far then. So I shall keep up the search, for yarrow and plantain (seen as those two are great for wounds, I want to be very familiar with them).

Cheers
Marcus.

Now is a great time to try and find plantain since the flower heads are so obvious. Learn to spot the flower and you'll find it a lot easier.

Been out again no luck, think I've come across plantain now (the long leaved one). But I did find something I'm buzzing about now, Self heal http://imgur.com/73FRPWt

If I can give one bit of advice about foraging it would be to stop looking for certain plants find an area and just have a good nose about you will be surprised on the amount of edibles you find with little effort try sitting in a nice feild and seeing how many edible you find In arms reach


Well done on the self heal
