16th May 2026, I visited the wonderful Bedgebury National Pinetum in Kent. It is a beautiful park full of an amazing variety of pine trees and other plants.

Run by Forestry England, it has a great visitor centre with a cafe, fantastic paths around the parkland and forest areas including several ponds and small lakes.

The Pinetum is very large and would take all day to fully explore. I would highly recommend a visit!

The site is very near to the A21 main road and has a large carpark.
