Centenary walking trail

Coming soon! Our brand-new Centenary trail will launch on Thursday 6 March

Over the past 100 years, Bedgebury National Pinetum has evolved from a pioneering collection of conifers, planted in partnership with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, into a world-leading centre for conservation and a place that connects people with trees.

As we celebrate our centenary this year, we take the opportunity to reflect on our past, celebrate the present, and look forward to the future.

What to expect 

This centenary trail guides you through the National Pinetum, tracing our journey from a private estate to the most comprehensive collection of conifers in the world, while sharing the stories of the individuals who have contributed to our success along the way.

Pick up a leaflet from the Information point or download a leaflet here and follow the route, making stops at each of the nine numbered panels.
