Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest

 

Open every day except Christmas, Bedgebury is the perfect place for walking, cycling, riding and playing in a spectacular world of trees.
The National Pinetum is a world-class collection of dramatic conifers and provides a beautiful setting for a country walk in all seasons. In addition, the two thousand-acre Bedgebury Forest now offers miles of family cycling, mountain-biking, riding, walking, Go Ape and adventure play for all ages and abilities.
The new Visitor Centre has a cycle franchise, refreshments, showers and an education/community room.
As a location for healthy outdoor activity in a beautiful setting, Bedgebury is in a class of its own.
