Berkeley is a town and civil parish in Gloucestershire, England. It lies in the Vale of Berkeley between the east bank of the River Severn and the M5 motorway within the Stroud administrative district. The town is noted for Berkeley Castle where the imprisoned Edward II was murdered.
Berkeley is located mid-way between Bristol and Gloucester. It is built on a small hill in the Vale of Berkeley. The town is on the Little Avon River, which flows into the Severn at Berkeley Pill. The Little Avon was tidal, and so navigable, for some distance inland (as far as Berkeley itself and the Sea Mills at Ham) until a ‘tidal reservoir’ was implemented at Berkeley Pill in the late 1960s. Berkeley was first recorded in 824 as Berclea, from the Old English for “birch-tree wood or clearing”.
