CLIFFORD'S TOWER, YORK

The stunning panoramic views over Old York from the top of Clifford's Tower, make it the ideal starting point for any visit to the city. There's plenty to discover at this imposing tower standing proud on its high mound. It is almost all that remains of York Castle built by William the Conqueror, and has served as a prison and a royal mint in its time.

English Heritage has received approval on plans to enchance the visitor experience at Clifford's Tower. Significant investment at the York landmark will create a new viewing platform at the top of the tower, suspended metal walkways within the tower giving access to previously unseen features and a welcoming visitor centre at the base of the mound.  Find out more about the project and planned closures.
