Bedgebury National Pinetum & Forest

Bedgebury National Pinetum is the sort of natural treasure that England does so well. Open year round and beautiful in all seasons, enjoy the fabulous display of one of the worlds most complete collections of conifers with a network of pathways for walks leading you to beautiful views around every corner. In the colder months, wrap up warm and kick some autumnal leaves along the pathways then drop in on the visitor centre's restaurant for a hearty lunch. In spring and summer, pack a picnic and explore the wild flowers that dot the many acres of the Pinetum. You can also enjoy leisurely cycling and mountain biking in the 2000 acre forest, and if you have kids in tow, there is an excellent adventure playground just beyond the centre too - a simply magical place, whatever the season.
