See inside this watch-tower on York’s City Walls. Infrequently open to the public, our volunteers are on hand to show off the spiral staircase, Tudor toilet and timber roof. Find out about the history of the Walls and look out for any approaching invaders! The Tower was built around 1504 where the City Walls ended on the banks of a swollen river Foss, with York Castle on the opposite bank.
