Open all year around, Bedgebury is the perfect place to enjoy healthy, outdoor activities.
The award winning National Pinetum is home to a world leading collection of conifers and contains over 12,000 specimen trees which create a beautiful setting for peaceful walks and picnics in the rolling hills and valleys of the High Weald Area of Outstanding Natural beauty. The entire site is awe-inspiring for tree lovers and has miles of trails for family cycling, walking, running, climbing, jumping, sliding and more!
The site has its own changing Places toilet, as well as being wheelchair accessible with level access and wide corridors, doors and pathways. There is a tramper and a wheelchair available to hire and we have some accessible activities throughout the forest.
