Had a fantastic day out here plenty of history to look at. The ruins are great. I fully enjoyed it here. Advantage of being an English Heritage Member.nnI personally wouldn't pay the entry price for what you get as it's as steep as the steps to get in.nnGreat views of York from the top.nThere is a steep climb to get in up the stairs so beware .
We've not visited for a good few years. Amazing renovation of the Tower with some parts not seen for many years. Amazing views of York from the top level. Would advise to book online as it is cheaper, and you can skip the queues with having an e ticket.
English Heritage have done a great job fitting the walkways and roof so you can take advantage of the amazing views of York from the top. Lots of stairs and some very narrow winding staircases but it's worth the effort. Bit blowy on top so keep a tight grip on your phone/camera. Plenty of history about the tower and the area, which was very informative. Despite it being a hot and sunny day, there was no queue and very few others inside. Allow about half an hour to see it all, or a bit longer if you just want to sit and enjoy the views.
This is an interesting attraction which is historical and nearly 1000 years, in York. Their staff are extremely polite and friendly. You need to take stairs up to get an Adult ticket at £11.50. And then climb further up to the roof top. There is a nice roof top with seats, to soak in the paranomic view and take beautiful pictures 360 degrees around York. The weather was wonderful, so I could bask in the sunshine for a while.nHelen
Great for a short walk around learning a bit of history about the tower. We were only there just over 30 minutes so a little expensive for the entrance fee, but it’s for English Heritage so we were happy to pay. Unfortunately the sun wasn’t out when we came but I’m sure the views from the top would be even better on a clear day! Lots of stairs and steep walkways inside!
