Having visited Bedgebury Forest and Pinetum in early January 2023, I was disappointed to find the Pinetum closed as they were removing the Christmas lights from the trail. On that visit I strolled through the forest but promised to return in the Spring to video the pinetum.
This was a short walk, only 2 miles (3km), but an enjoyable and beautiful walk all the same.
About Bedgebury, the National Pinetum:
Bedgebury National Pinetum is home to the largest pinetum in the world and it's important on a global scale for species conservation, scientific advancement, and the understanding of conifers.
The mix of conifers and broadleaved specimens contained in 350 acres of rolling Wealden countryside is awe-inspiring in its size and grandeur. At the entrance to the pinetum, the visitor centre is situated beside the first of six lakes and ponds along the basin of Dallimore Valley. A series of paths wind through the valley, where you'll find an impressive stand of giant redwoods. The hillsides offer spectacular views of the tree collection and towards the northern boundary of the pinetum, the iconic Marshal's Lake is surrounded by swamp cypress, which turns a glorious rusty red in autumn and deciduous dawn redwoods.
