Berkeley Vale

About

Berkeley Vale ward encompasses the rural settlements of Berkeley, Sharpness, and Hinton. It lies along the eastern bank of the River Severn, with its landscape characterised by flat, low-lying farmland and the historic Berkeley Canal. The area's economy has long been connected to the river, with Sharpness Docks remaining a functional commercial port for bulk materials.

The ward is dominated by Berkeley Nuclear Power Station, a defining local employer now in its decommissioning phase. Berkeley Castle, a medieval fortress with continuous occupation, anchors the area's historical identity. The surrounding hamlets and the Gloucester and Sharpness Canal path provide a quiet, working environment distinct from the more urban centres of the district.
