Best source of bilberries/winberries is by Peel Tower, on Holcombe Hill, just near Bury - amazingly good harvests every year, as long as you get there before everyone else!

Oh yes the wonderfull blaeberry as we call them over here in N.I. In fact in the Mourne mountains you can find Blaeberry mounatin/hill. Great fun picking and eating on a days walk.
