It’s no surprise that the spectacular views you get at York’s historic city centre are what makes Clifford’s Tower one of the most popular attractions in Yorkshire. Set on a tall mound, this imposing tower is almost all that remains of York Castle, originally built by William the Conqueror.

In its time, the tower served as a prison and royal mint, as well as the place where Henry VII had the bodies of his enemies put on public display.
