Advantages: views

Disadvantages: steps are many!

One of the best things about York, such fantastic views from the top of the Tower but the steps up can be a killer but well worth the haul. You can see the minster and all around from the top, on a lovely day like when we were there (actually it was really hot so a bit of a slog up the steps) the view was just beautiful. Its a part of English Heritage and being members we didnt pay to go in but i think the rates were fairly reasonable for non members.
There are exhibitions inside and the ramparts to climb which is of course the point of going up there!. There is a small reasonably stocked English Heritage shop and the staff are helpful and friendly.
The walk down was considerably easier than up though i was tempted to just roll down the hill...not advisable however as you would roll onto the road or into a car park!
