The image captures the tower from a unique perspective - viewed from the tranquil river that flows nearby. As one gazes upon this iconic landmark, it is impossible not to be transported back in time and imagine the rich history that surrounds it. Clifford's Tower stands tall and proud, its stone walls echoing tales of defence and resilience. Built as part of York Castle during the 13th century, this formidable structure served as a symbol of power and protection for centuries.
