Berkeley Castle

Berkeley Castle was built in 1153 by the Berkeley family, who, 27 generations on, still live there today. Over the centuries it has changed from a fortress to a welcoming family home.

Travel through time and history, from the keep, with its dungeon and the cell where Edward II is said to have been murdered, to the drawing rooms, with their fine upholstery, chandeliers and silver lamps. Visitors can see superb silver, paintings from the 16th-20th centuries, fine furniture and a unique spider’s-web ceiling.

Discover the colourful Berkeley family, who were involved in many major events in England’s history; make up your own mind about the love story involving Mary Cole and the 5th Earl of Berkeley; find out which play Shakespeare wrote for a Berkeley family wedding.

Stroll in the terraced gardens, filled with unusual plants, and relax by our beautiful Lily Pond. Our very special Walled Garden Cafe serves hot and cold drinks, cakes, snacks and light lunches. Call into our lovely gift shop before you leave, you’re sure to be tempted by our great selection of castle mementos and locally sourced produce.
