Clifford’s Tower
Over 1,000 years old, Clifford’s Tower is an impressive stone tower overlooking the city of York. Built in 1245 during the reign of King Henry III, the tower has played a part in varying chapters of British history from the 1069 uprising against the Normans to its role in the Dissolution of the Monasteries. When you select entry to the tower you can climb to the top and enjoy panoramic views of the city. It’s a truly remarkable experience with vistas that need to be seen to be believed.
