Why is Clifford’s Tower important to you? What makes it significant? What do you cherish?

With the visitor building set within the mound at Clifford’s Tower now not set to proceed, English Heritage is keen to re-examine future possibilities in collaboration with the wider community in York, as part of the wider Castle Gateway project. To begin this conversation, we invite you to join us for this walk and workshop to consider the fundamentals. We will ask: What makes Clifford’s Tower important to you? From here we will draw out the core meanings, histories and stories for Clifford’s Tower and the wider Castle and Eye of York. After the event an open document exploring the significance of Clifford’s Tower will be published to help inform the wider My Castle Gateway discussions about the new public spaces, movement and meanings of the wider site.
