Centenary Guided Walk

Step back in time with our Bedgebury volunteers on a free one-hour drop-in guided walk through the National Pinetum, where you'll encounter magnificent trees that have stood for a century.

What to expect:

Along the way, you’ll discover how these trees were carefully selected and planted, the role they play in global conservation, and how the pinetum has evolved over the past 100 years. Our knowledgeable volunteer guides will share insights into the history, science, and beauty of these magnificent trees, helping you appreciate the living legacy of Bedgebury in a whole new way.
