Guide to The City of York
Cliffords Tower, York

Cliffords Tower is set on a mound built by William the Conqueror.

Clifford's Tower is notorious as the site of York's most shameful hour. The city's Jewish population took refuge there after being attacked by a local mob in 1190. They were offered baptism or execution, but chose a third option instead. They took their own lives in a mass suicide pact. A modern memorial records the event.

The tower is owned by English Heritage and is open to the public. There are great views from the top.

This view is one of four 360 degree panoramic images take from the very top of the tower.The York Minster is just visible in the distance, as can the Hilton Hotel and Tower Street below.
