As well as a venue for live music, Bedgebury is now one of the South East of England’s premier active outdoor visitor attractions. With major funding from Sport England Bedgebury has created Olympic standard mountain biking facilities, plus all-ability family cycling, riding, walking and adventure play across its 2000 acres of forest.

Bedgebury is already famous for its National Pinetum, a world-class collection of dramatic conifers in a beautiful parkland setting. Bedgebury Forest offers miles of cycling, mountain-biking, riding, walking and adventure play (including Go Ape) for a modest £7.50 parking fee. Open 364 days a year, Bedgebury is the perfect place to take healthy exercise in the fresh air surrounded by a spectacular world of trees.
