Features

The Castel: What makes the Castle truly extraordinary is that, for nine centuries, the building, the Berkeley family, the archives (dating back to the 12th century), the contents, the estate, and the town have all endured and evolved together.
The Gardens: In the beginning, the walls of the Castle dropped sheer to the surrounding levels to the South. Quite early in its history, the water from the River Severn (nearer the Castle in those days) was channeled and managed to create defensive stretches of water on this side of the Castle, and later a ditch was dug to the North side, between the Castle and the church.
