Bedgebury National Pinetum, Botanical garden and arboretum in Goudhurst, England

The 350-acre Bedgebury National Pinetum contains over 12,000 trees across rolling hills, valleys, and six lakes in the Kent countryside.

The estate dates from 841 AD, with John de Bedgebury as the first recorded resident before the Colepeper family acquired it through marriage in the 15th century.

The Pinetum started its collection in 1925 when the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew transferred numerous conifer specimens to protect them from London air pollution.

The site opens daily from 8 AM and provides cycling trails, walking paths, a cafe with views, and mobility scooter rentals for visitors.

The collection includes 56 endangered conifer species and maintains six National Plant Collections, including specimens of Yew, Juniper, and Leyland Cypress.
