Robin Hood Tower


Robin Hood tower on the York City Walls is not an original feature. It was added in Victorian times and is a Victorian interpretation of what a good mediaeval tower should look like. You get to the tower from Monk Bar or Bootham Bar. From the tower is a superb view of York Minster.

You may not be aware but a pardon has been found for Robin Hood at York, he was outlawed in the Peasants Revolt. If you are interested see here.
