Castle Hill

Castle Hill Victoria Tower, Castle HillCastle Hill with its Victoria Tower is Huddersfield's most prominent landmark and offers stunning views in all directions from the paths around the hilltop. The hill is thought to have been occupied as long as 5,000 years ago in the Neolithic period while its earliest defensive earthworks were created in the early Iron Age around 2,700 years ago. The Victoria Tower was opened in 1899 commemorating the diamond jubilee year of Queen Victoria two years earlier. For a small fee its internal steps can be climbed on selected dates.
