Lovely place to visit. Castle was quirky with lots of information and artefacts. Lovely gardens and right next door is St Mary's Church and the house of Dr Jenner, who invented the vaccination process on people. Berkeley Castle well worth a visit.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNot sure
we had a fab time.guide told us very interesting details about castle for this you must pay extra £2.50 pp. There is park car near visitor centre, but if you put just Berkeley Castle you will go to main entry. which is private still live there owner with family.
Such a great day out! Lots to see, the knife of the castle is brilliant, lots of interactive bits so great for kids, and kids at heart and lots of really informative pieces too. We didn't book onto the guided tour, but think we will next time as it sounded fascinating! The grounds have some great bits to explore, we enjoyed finding all the chicken wire figurines. And its right next to the Edward Jenner museum, so we will definitely be back to look at that and go round the castle again! All of the team volunteers/staff were really enthusiastic, keen to chat and talk about the castle and its history. You felt really welcome!
Great day out at Berkeley Castle. Would recommend for sure. Recommend the guided tour £2.50 which takes about 75min. I'd skip the tour if u have youngsters n let them charge around the massive grounds doing the dragon quest which is laid out all over the castle n grounds. 5/5
This is one of the few places in the UK that is run privately so the cost is a little bit higher compared to English Heritage or National Trust venue but the ticket is valid for 12 months so it is good value. The history of this castle is amazing and the guides are very knowledgeable. The garden is beautiful and just going to chill on the lawn is a good idea in itself. Highly recommended a day visiting if you're around Bristol, Gloucester or the Costwalds.
Location of one of the most interesting bits of Royal English history, being the murder place of Edward II. How he got binned off, whether with a red hot poker inserted down under or not, is all part of the rumours. Many castles got truncated/slighted, but this castle got to keep it's walls and towers minus a hole in the keep. Furthermore, it has an excellent hall that has been used in multiple film sets. The castle is still lived in, so it has none standard opening times.
A great place to visit and enjoy an historic building the staff are friendly and helpful and there's a hideaway to get a cup of coffee and a snack and have a chat the castle has events at various times of the year well worth a visit
Most castles are quite expensive to visit nowadays and this was no exception...however, the efforts made to bring it to life with medieval music being played live, both with dancing and just to provide ambience, in combination with the 'fair' in the grounds showing off the various trades of the era and live shows, made for a really great experience.
Lovely place to visit. Beautiful gardens too and only £12 and you can return for a year for free!! Great !!
Castle still inhabited by the family. Very informative guided tour of property. Lovely garden, pity about the bad weather. Interesting, unusual wire sculptures of figures in garden.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedYes
