【約克】Clifford Tower 克里福特塔－il Giardino Romantico

Don't underestimate this little castle here. Although it had not been a planned itinerary, I chose to come here since the minster was in service, and was not open to the public until three in the afternoon. Once I arrived, I realised that it was yet another one of those pleasant little surprises when you do something out of the expected.

千萬別小看這間小小的城堡。雖然他不在我原本規劃的行程哩，但因為大教堂當天有活動，要到下午三點才會開放參觀。我就選了這個地方來參觀。等到我抵達後，我才發現這個決定沒錯！這又是一個意料之外的小小驚喜！

約克至第十世紀原本是個維京首都。我們現在看到的這個原本是一座城堡的主樓。這座城堡是征服者威廉所建置。歷經許多戰爭至今已列為英國文化遺產之一。
