Clifford’s Tower

Frommer's Staff

This sturdy 13th-century tops a grassy mound. Henry VIII used to display his enemies' bodies here, but today it has a much less grisly use as the administrative head of Yorkshire. If you climb 55 steps up the tower you'll be rewarded with sweeping panoramic views.
