Beverston Castle originally occupied by a medieval great hall from either the de Gaunt or Berkeley era. In 1691 a fire damaged this southern range, but it was restored soon thereafter. In 2006, Beverston Castle was in private ownership. The ancient moat has been incorporated into the expansive and well-cared-for garden. The gardens are considered a good site for viewing orchids. The southern entrance to the castle is by way of a bridge over the vestigial moat. Vehicle access to the north side of the castle is through the ancient gatehouse arch.
