Nailsworth to BerkeleyNailsworth is a lively, artistic town nestling in a wooded valley and renowned for its award-winning restaurants, pubs, cafes and other food outlets including a celebrated local bakery (home to The Fabulous Baker Brothers) and food emporium, as well as some lovely, small independent shops. There is a mill trail and Nailsworth has the largest number of working water wheels per square mile in the country. Ruskin Mill (a centre for artistic activity) and the Stroudwater textile Trust’s Weaving Shed at Gigg Mill are nearby. An eight-mile cycle-way follows the old railway line to Stonehouse. Close by is the Nailsworth Ladder leading to National Trust common land and the mysterious and haunted Woodchester Mansion. The Nailsworth Festival takes place annually with a programme of art and music events.
The centre-piece of Berkeley is the magnificent 12th century Berkeley Castle with its dark and brooding bloodstained history, where Edward II was brutally murdered in 1327. It is the oldest inhabited castle in England, having been home to 24 generations of the Berkeley family. The little town itself is well worth exploring and includes Dr Jenner’s House. It was from this house in 1796 that Edward Jenner pioneered the vaccination against smallpox that changed the world. Edward Jenner was born in Berkeley and The Chantry, where the museum is located, was his home for 38 years.
