Berkeley Castle

Built in the 12th Century by the Berkeley family this beautiful castle is still lived in by the Berkeleys today, 24 generations later.

The Castle has been at the forefront of English history for nearly 1,000 years. Most famous for the brutal murder of Edward II in 1327, the Castle was besieged and captured by Cromwells' troops in 1645. 

There is something for all ages, including a play area and activities in the summer holidays. 

Berkeley Castle & The Edward Jenner Museum offer a joint ticket to both attractions.
