Clifford's Tower postcard is by North East artist Emily Ward from her Yorkshire art print and gift range.
Emily's art postcard is from original artwork of this iconic castle tower and has a feeling of spring about it.
With cheerful yellow and orange flowers growing wildly on the grassy hill, you can imagine climbing the steps up to this medieval Norman keep.
A splash of colour has been added to fluffy clouds swirling above Clifford's Tower.

Clifford's Tower
Clifford's Tower
has looked over the city of York from 1245 until the present day. It was originally built on the orders of William 1 to dominate the Viking city of Jorvik which is now known as York.
York's iconic historical monument is steeped in a thousand years of history. The raised mound that it stands on was once the site of a timber keep that had been built by William the Conqueror. This was burnt down in 1190.
Clifford’s Tower was once part of York Castle, the tower played a role in turbulent national events such as the Dissolution of the Monasteries and the English Civil War.
