Berkeley
Nestled in the Vale of Berkeley, overlooking the mighty Severn as it twists its way northwards, Berkeley is ideally located for those who love the outdoors, walking and biking.
Your new house, is part of a medieval market town with a castle (that's still lived in by the 24th generation of the Berkeley family) and an ancient church. The pretty Georgian high street has a collection of independent businesses including a chemist, building society, newsagent, hardware store, hairdresser and florist.
