| Berkeley Castle | Trip steps designed to make the enemy stumble during an assault, arrow slits, rugged battlements, murder holes, enormous barred doors, slots where the portcullis once fell, and worn stones where sentries stood guard. And here you will see the cell where King Edward II was held for 18 months before his murder here in 1327, with the 30 foot deep pit of the dungeon close by. But you will also find a Castle that has been continuously inhabited by the same family.

| Wallace Collection | The Wallace Collection is both a national museum and the finest private collection of art ever assembled by one family. It was bequeathed to the nation by Lady Wallace, widow of Sir Richard Wallace, in 1897, and opened to the public just over three years later on 22 June 1900. Its first visitors were variously delighted, amazed and bemused. Among its treasures are one of the best collections of French 18th-century pictures, porcelain and furniture in the world, a remarkable array of 17th-century paintings and a superb armoury.
