Bedgebury National Pinetum & Forest, managed by Forestry England, is a unique and award-winning destination in Kent combining an internationally significant National Conifer Collection with 2,000 acres of open forest. While admission is free (vehicle parking charges apply), the site offers a wealth of activities including miles of waymarked trails for walking, running (including a weekly parkrun), and cycling, featuring both family-friendly routes and challenging mountain bike singletracks.
Visitors can also enjoy high-octane adventure at Go Ape, an engaging play trail for children (including Gruffalo spotting), and tranquil walks around the world-leading collection of over 12,000 specimen trees, many of which are rare and endangered. It is a premier year-round location for nature conservation, outdoor health, and family fun in the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
