Cliffords Tower ~ York #York #Cliffordstower #yorkshire #castle #yorkcastle #englishheritage

This is a old video I did while in York. Clifford’s Tower (York Castle) has undergone many changes since I took this footage. English Heritage put in major investment to add new stairwells and also have now covered the tower with a roof deck which now means you can walk and view York all across the rooftop when before as you see in the video was just a small walkway around the edge of the tower. I will add links to English Heritage page if you wish to see the newer version of Clifford’s Tower. It also gives me reason to once again travel to one of my favorite cities in England. Clifford’s Tower Info: Much of York’s layout is the result of Roman and Viking construction but one iconic feature is distinctly Norman. The original mound of Clifford’s Tower, with a timber structure at the top, was constructed by William the Conqueror in 1068 as a statement of his power over the region. This building stood for just over a century before being burnt down in one of York’s bloodies
