Event details

EH STK LEFT ALIGNED CMYK POS_300dpi



First built in 1068 by William the Conqueror to impose order on the North, Clifford’s Tower has subsequently seen chaos reign during fierce battles, violent mob attacks, civil war cannon bombardment and a final spectacular explosion of powder stores, which destroyed the interiors.  Visitors can explore the intact shell of the Tower with its open courtyard and varied history and enjoy spectacular views over York from the lofty ramparts.
