BERKELEY

This small village outside Bristol is dominated by the 12th century Norman fortress of Berkeley Castle, the place where Edward II met a macabre death in 1327 when assassins apparently skewered him with a red-hot iron.



Nearby, the Jenner Museum is dedicated to Edward Jenner (1749-1823), who used cowpox to defeat smallpox and discovered the principle behind the use of vaccinations.
