Trip to Berkeley Castle and Dr Jenner’s House

Berkeley Castle has been the home of the Berkeley family for 850 years (the oldest in the country to be inhabited by the same family who built it). Our visit began with a guided tour of the castle.  After lunch we visited Dr Jenner’s house, where Edward Jenner developed the idea of smallpox vaccination, and saw where he established a free vaccination clinic in his garden. There was then free time to follow the Jenner Trail and to visit St Mary’s Church.
