I plan to visit the 120-hectare Bedgebury National Pinetum near Tunbridge Wells in the next couple of months. This location hosts a world famous collection of conifers and boasts the tallest tree in Kent among its 12,000 trees and shrubs.This grand fir, known as 'The Old Man of Kent', was planted in 1840 by Viscount Beresford, who owned the Bedgebury estate and was a field marshall in Wellington's army.
The tree stands a mighty 51 metres (167 feet) tall.
Will need a wide angle lens on this visit...
