Clifford’s Tower offers one of the best perspectives of the city of York. The original motte-and-bailey castle was one of the Norman towers built by William the Conqueror on both sides of the River Foss in 1068. However, rebels and the Viking army destroyed the tower in 1069 and it was later rebuilt, creating an artificial lake and a moat around it that no longer exists.
