	Forestry Commission - History of Bedgebury National Pinetum
		The first plants for the Pinetum were raised at Kew in 1921 and transferred to Bedgebury in 1925 and 1926, to stand alongside existing plantings carried out by Viscount Marshall Beresford, the former owner of the Bedgebury estate.
		Bedgebury is also at the forefront of horticulture and currently holds several national collections of conifer cultivars and genera.
		Bedgebury Pinetum supports, protects and is increasing the population of UK Red Data Book species: those species of flora, fauna and fungi identified as in need of particular conservation effort.

		A pinetum is a grove or plantation where pine trees are cultivated, particularly for scientific, educational and/or esthetic purposes.
		The most famous of the world's pinetums (the Romans would have said the plural is pineta) is the Bedgebury National Pinetum in County Kent, England and it contains not only pine trees.

		Bedgebury's not too bad, only 13km's of singletrack tho, with a few other bits in there too.
		I've been to Bedgebury quite a few times now as my mate lives quite close and it's now up to about 14km (new section of very boggy doubletrack) and is OK when the ground gets much boggier elsewhere (Downs, anyone!) or when it's dry and quick.
		Other than that, save your money and go to Bedgebury, 20 minutes down the road.
