Historic York - A Guided Tour Through A Beautiful City Clifford's Tower Picture Of Clifford's Tower


Turning right at the end of Whoop-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate we walk up the main road to All Saints Church at the junction of Coppergate and High Ousegate.

Picture of The Jorvik Viking Centre We cross Coppergate and turn left down Coppergate Walk to the Jorvik Viking Centre, one of York's most popular attractions.

A few paces on from the Jorvik Centre we turn right to join Castlegate, then right again onto Tower street. Continuing up Tower Street, we pass the western end of St George's Field to the right.


Picture The Ouse from St George's Field Just beyond this popular park you can catch your first glimpse of the River Ouse.

To our left, on a steep defensive mound sits Clifford's Tower, the famous thirteenth century keep whose battlements afford wonderful views of the surrounding landscape.

Further on, facing the tower is the Castle Museum, whose enormous collection of folk artifacts makes it one of the most interesting and unusual museums in the country.
