Clifford’s Tower
York, United Kingdom
Clifford’s Tower is the most prominent surviving part of York Castle, standing on a steep mound above the city. Climb to the roof platform for broad views, then spend time with the interpretation inside. The tower’s history includes the massacre of York’s Jewish community in 1190, an essential part of understanding the site. There are substantial steps to reach the entrance, so review access information before booking rather than assuming the rooftop is easily reached.
