Family Days Out In Kent

Bedgebury National Pinetum & Forest

Adventure in a World of Trees at Bedgebury

Bedgebury Forest now offers walking, cycling, mountain biking, horse riding, adventure play, Go Ape and orienteering for people of all ages and abilities, creating one of South East England’s premier sites for healthy outdoor activity. There is a brand-new multi-functional Visitor Centre, all-ability trails throughout the Forest and National Pinetum and over 20,000 square metres of adventure play equipment. The facilities are open all the year round. Cycling Cyclists of all ages and abilities can now enjoy a 10km family cycle route and over 12kms of mountain bike trails. This includes a long single-track cross-country loop and a daredevil Freeride and Dirt Jump area, with built structures and obstacles designed to challenge a rider's ability and technical skills. The Bedgebury Forest Cycle Club is now up and running. Walking & Adventure Play There are new all-ability walking and orienteering routes promoting healthy living, including health walks and calorie mapped trails. The state-of-the-art Adventure Play Area is themed around the great plant-hunters of the Victorian era. Riding Bedgebury has also added and upgraded 12km of horse riding tracks. The addition of way-marking, a trail map, a secure box park and picnic area, plus links to existing bridleways has created a wonderful trail riding opportunity. Conservation The project has been carefully planned to take into account conservation issues and minimise disruption to Bedgebury’s abundant wildlife and special habitats. Visitor Centre The new Visitor Centre serves both the National Pinetum and Forest. It features catering, toilets, a cycle franchise (including disabled cycles), showers, bike wash area, visitor information and a classroom/community room. National Pinetum Bedgebury's National Pinetum, host to the world’s finest collection of conifers, continues to offer a haven of peace set in beautiful parkland with lakes, streams, rolling hills and wide avenues. The Visitor Centre lies at the hub of a network of new paths throughout the Pinetum that enable easy access for all levels of ability. 365 days a year Open: 8am Close: Dusk (8pm in summer)
