Tourist Profile Trunk Road
Travelling the vast forest tracks of Bedgebury is a journey across continents… and a trip back in time. Doug Kempster donned his hiking boots…
T
he rusty echo of a pheasant’s croak. Te smells of resin and damp earth. A slight tang of wood smoke on the crisp, clear air…
Tere’s nothing like an invigorating winter stroll in the wilderness. Okay, your ears may be burning with cold, but England takes on a special beauty
as nature slips into slumber under dramatic, icy skies.
And exploring hiking trails that wind through 320 acres and 12,000 trees is a great way to ease your conscience as you countdown to the season of festive feasting. Set against the backdrop of autumnal deciduous reds and golds giving way to
the frost-dusted, dark Nordic palette of evergreens, Bedgebury National Pinetum is a walk in the wilderness… but within easy striking distance of mid, north and west Kent It’s the Hollywood A-lister of forest days out, with a range of walking routes that offer something to suit everyone, regardless of age or ability.
