Clifford's Tower, York

Do it! Get in! Enjoy the views and the wonderful staff! Ask any questions, enjoy the self guised tour! Spread some nice smiles! Really great maintenance of the place! You can enjoy the rooftop (bring your coffee, gaze around, make some nice photos and memories)!

Cliffords Tower looks impressive perked up on a hill! For the admission price its probably just as much value to stay outside, walk around and look at it. Inside's a mix of original building with retro fitted stairs, walkways and top floor which is unique. The view from the top is not overwhelming but you get a reasonable view of the surrounding York and Castle Muesum. If you're interested but not interested enough to pay the entry fee there's more than enough photos on the internet available. Depends if you want the experience for yourself or not.

This is a castle that is as original as can be. It has not had the "castle taken out of the castle" like some others I have visited. The stairway and viewing platforms are beautifully thought out. There is access to so much historical information and the staff are very friendly. This place is a real gem!

Brilliant, visited for the first time in 38 years. The floor and roof access was amazing. The view was out of this world. To see York from high up was really cool and would definitely recommend going there.

Definitely one of the highlights of this fantastic city. The interior is incredibly interesting and the Modern walk way that has been installed to allow access to the upper story is a great addition,as is the viewing area at the top. Don't miss the little chapel or the garderrobe with a flush system. It is a bit of a steep walk to the entrance but unfortunately this is the nature of these places. But if you are able to make the climb then Clifford's tower is a must see in a city full of must sees.

Great views of the town from this place. There are gantries and stairs to climb up and explore. Clifford's Tower is the central remaining structure of the medieval York Castle in York, England, a landmark with a history spanning nearly a thousand years. Built by William the Conqueror, the tower has evolved from a royal residence to a treasury, mint, and prison, and is known for housing the 1190 massacre of the Jewish population of York in a predecessor building. Today, it is a protected monument offering visitors panoramic views of York and an immersive experience into its complex and often tragic past.

Really worth a visit, especially on a nice day with ... the viewing terrace at the top. One star taken only as I thought it would be great to be able to have some kids activities and perhaps a little shop too. Overall the views were worth the steps up. I really enjoyed it!

Up a steep set of wooden steps but worth the effort. Though you will have further steps to climb, some quite narrow , in order to access the roof and enjoy the fresh air and the panoramic views of York. Good informative boards. If a member of English Heritage it's a bargain.. at £11 for an adult it is not.
