Victoria Tower, Castle Hill

Heritage Open Day: Perched on Castle Hill, Victoria Tower was completed in 1899 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Queen Victoria's reign. The corner-stone of the Victoria Tower was laid on 25 June 1898 by Mr John Frechville Ramsden and was officially opened by the Earl of Scarborough on 24 June 1899. The tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee of 1897.

The Grade II listed building reaches the height of almost 997 feet above sea level with spectacular views. The Tower can be accessed by steps only.

The site contains a diverse mosaic of wildlife habitats and working with Natural England, Castle Hill is a designated Local Nature Reserve and is a Green Flag Award winner for 2024/25.
