Clifford's Tower, York Review

The Clifford Tower, first built by William the Conqueror, is a wooden fortress, part of the York castle, standing on a hill at the intersection of the Uth and Forth rivers southeast of the Old Town. At that time, the tower and York castle were surrounded by moats, and the tower was connected by a suspension bridge between the castle and the outside by a stone bridge.

Clifford Tower, a stone tower that brings people to remember, is one of the few remaining relics of York Castle, located above the hill. The tower is reached by narrow spiral staircases, from which you can see a panoramic view of York, and inside it is a reduced model of the old York castle. The tower, with a unique beauty, attracts many visitors. Clifford Tower is symmetrical with four leaf shapes, and this castle building is unique in the UK. In 1190, a violent riot occurred in Clifford Tower, where some Christian merchants tried to destroy the Jewish community in order to pay their debts to Jewish bankers, and 150 Jews who survived the disaster fled to the original site of Clifford Tower and were forced to commit suicide.

The Clifford Tower stands on the hill in the sunset, an old fortress with broken walls, but it is full of vitality because of the lush and lush lawn under the tower. Children are laughing and running on the lawn.

very pretty and highly recommend going to visit, a short walk from the station

didn’t go up because it was so expensive just to go up and it’s only small, I don’t know

Good!

Clifford Tower belongs to one of York's landmarks. It is located on a hill in York. It looks very beautiful. It makes me feel more like a fortress. I can enjoy the surrounding scenery when I come to the door.
