Built around 1150 this Norman castle is set amongst wonderful countryside. Berkeley has witnessed many historical events and the family which bear its name have also given their name to locations around the world; from Berkeley Square in London to Berkeley University in California.

Berkeley Castle has been lived in by the same family for over 900 years. It is where history has been made. Where Edward II was murdered, where the Barons of the West gathered before Magna Carta and where Queen Elizabeth I hunted and played bowls.

The castle is regularly used as a film location for movies and TV. Most recently for the big budget Johnny English Strikes Again, but has also been used in Poldark, The White Princess, Wolf Hall, Miss Marple, Two Ronnies Sketch “The Worm That Turned” and many more.
