Events at Bedgebury National Pinetum and Forest
- Meet at the Visitor Centre
Experience the beauty of the season with a leisurely guided walk through the National Pinetum as autumn transforms the landscape. Discover a stunning variety of conifers and broadleaved trees, each showcasing vibrant leaf colours, fascinating fruits and cones, and even distinctive seasonal scents.
What to expect
Take in one of the pinetum’s most iconic views at Marshal’s Lake, where deciduous conifers such as the dawn redwood and swamp cypress create a breathtaking display of rich bronze and golden-brown foliage, beautifully reflected in the water.
Along the way, our expert guides will share the remarkable stories behind the trees. Learn how these living collections connect us to the past, contribute to vital conservation work, and help shape the future of trees in a changing world.
More than a celebration of autumn colour, this is an opportunity to discover the history, science, and significance of the trees that surround us.
