Travelling by car

Here are a couple of tips to stop you becoming delayed in the narrow, if picturesque, streets of Berkeley village.

• Follow the yellow signs for Berkeley Skirmish, rather than the brown tourist signs for Berkeley Castle.
• If you're using a Sat-Nav enter the postcode GL13 9QL, and approach from the south to avoid the village.

Directions from the M5

• Exit the M5 at junction 14, take the B4509 exit signed to Dursley;
• Turn left at the top of the slip road - B4509 (signs for Falfield/B4509/Berkeley/Sharpness/A38)
• Shortly after turn right onto the A38
• 1.3 miles later you'll be passing through a village called Stone
• Turn left toward High St (signed Ham/Rockhampton/Hill)
• Follow this lane for about 2.5 miles and are car park will be on the left
