Clifford’s Tower Revealed: York Landmark Re-roofed and Interior Transformed
This Saturday, 2 April 2022, English Heritage reopens Clifford’s Tower in York to the public, following a major £5 million project to conserve and radically transform the interior of the 800-year-old landmark. Where previously the tower was an empty shell, the charity has now installed a free-standing timber structure within it, protecting the ruin and creating a new roof deck to provide magnificent views over York. On the tower’s lost first floor, dramatic aerial walkways will open up hidden rooms for the first time since Clifford’s Tower was gutted by fire in 1684.
