About Clifford's Tower

First off, take a tour of the tower – scale the ancient steps of the mound and take a self-guided walk around the ground floor, the former home of the royal exchequer and treasury.

Not only was the tower the centre of government for the north of England, it also had a who’s-who of names associated with it through the years. The original timber castle was built by William the Conqueror, then was rebuilt just after the 1190 mass suicide, one of the most shocking moments of English history.

The castle housed some particularly famous prisoners over the years, including Quakers founder George Fox, and legendary highwayman Dick Turpin – all of whom have left their mark on this ancient ruin. To learn more about the castle’s long and prestigious history, head to the old castle prison, which is now the castle museum.

End your visit with a wall-top walk. Climb to the very top of the tower and make your way around its edge, taking in the stunning panoramic views of York. Turn the other way and check out the sprawling layout of the castle itself, the perfect vantage point for getting an understanding of how this castle once operated when full of life.
