"The walkways, new staircases and topside decking really make it easier to move around."
"With the new stairs to the roof, this has improved this landmark as there is further to see."
"Recently refurbished so easy to climb staircases."
"Entering Clifford tower relatively easy."
"The tower is exceptionally well-preserved and very accessible once you climb the mound."
"They have installed a rather good internal structure that allows you inside and up without putting undue stress on the fabric of the building."
"Tastefully renovated to allow access to all levels."
Cons:
"As it’s on a steep mound. There is no access to wheelchairs & you might struggle with a buggy/pram."
"Unfortunately, a lift isn't possible due to the structure of the mound so I'm afraid it will never be totally accessible for those with mobility problems."
"No disabled access and the stairs are steep going up to the tower."
"Not ideal for those with mobility issues though, as lots of steps up the mound and in the tower."
"Quite a few stairs to climb so may be difficult for those with impairments."
"This is a English Heritage site the entrance is at the top of the very steep steps and it isn't suitable for people with disabilities or in a wheelchair."
"First point is this attraction is totally impossible in a wheel chair. Due to the only access point being up a steep flight of stairs."
Value for Money
Pros:
"Its quirky and doesnt cost a lot to go up which is good."
"Price for tickets are very good for travelers and visitors."
"Great visit and good for the price."
"Free entry for members of English Heritage."
"It's cheap to get in (English Heritage)."
"Tickets bought online for £4 each normal cost £10 or £14.50 with a guide book."
"Nice tower to visit as part of our English heritage membership!"
Cons:
"Quite expensive for what it was (£13.50 for 1 concession and 1 child)."
"Tower itself is OK but it's unnecessarily expensive."
"Looked like a really interesting little castle to go in and see but at £5 per person it was far too expensive."
"The entrance fee's are ridiculous."
"Fairly pricey for time you will spend in there, £22 for 3 ppl."
"We found it very expensive to go inside, paid £10.40 for family tickets and £4 for guidebook."
"£11 a bit steep entrance charge but I suppose they have to pay to upkeep the tower."
Experience & Enjoyment
Pros:
"Fun way to spend an hour in York."
"Tower was nice for us history geeks."
"Not only will you be rewarded with a wonderfully presented ancient building but the views from the very top are fantastic."
"What a superb job they’ve done restoring the castle."
"The views are fantastic from the top with plenty of seating areas to chill and enjoy."
"Some lovely views of York once up on the roof off the tower."
"The stunning panoramic views over Old York from the top of Clifford's Tower, make it the ideal starting point for any visit to the city."
Cons:
"The site is not as attractive or grand as other historical sites that you will view."
"No toilet facilities, or refreshments."
"One of the worst English heritage attractions I have visited."
"Really this should be one of EH's free attractions."
"The actual tower itself has nice views at the top, but English Heritage has made absolutely zero effort to make the large open bottom floor interesting."
"No kind of guide so you walk round yourself and read about the history from displays."
"It's not the greatest attraction in York and is very limited inside, with a 10 minute stroll around the walls being the highlight."
