Details

Accessibility

"Free visitor car park with designated disabled car parking spaces near the main entrance. We also have a coach park situated just inside the roadside entrance; passengers can be dropped off by the main entrance gates.

Two toilet blocks, one in the Walled Garden and one near the Education Centre. A disabled toilet and baby changing facilities are available in both locations.

Castle interior:

Access to the Castle is via the Keep Steps which are uneven and were designed to trip up invaders! There is a handrail in this area, but we do advise that you take particular care as you ascend these steps.

Unfortunately the first floor rooms are inaccessible for wheelchair users, but we can offer a ground level tour with ramps, staffing levels permitting – please call the Castle office to discuss this prior to your visit.

Gardens:

Some areas are wheelchair friendly, although we do have terraces which are only accessible via a series of steps. There are several benches dotted around the grounds and gardens, which offer the opportunity to take a rest and enjoy the view."

Brief description

"The castle's origins date back to the 11th century, and it has been designated by English Heritage as a grade I listed building. The castle has remained within the Berkeley family since they reconstructed it in the 12th century, except for a period of royal ownership by the Tudors. It is traditionally believed to have been the scene of the murder of King Edward II in 1327. In 1956 Berkeley Castle was opened to visitors and remains open today."
