Castle Hill & Victorian Tower

Being occupied since the Stone Age, Castle Hill is one of the most striking natural landmarks in the area, and dominates the Huddersfield skyline.

The Victoria Tower, otherwise known as Jubilee tower that crowns the hill was built in 1898/9 to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Queen Victoria's coronation.

At a height of nearly 1,000 feet above sea level the tower top affords visitors a splendid panoramic view of the township of Huddersfield and its surroundings. Inside an exhibition traces the hill's 4,000 years of history.

For details of opening hours please contact Tolson Museum, Tel: 01484 223830.

Admission: there is a charge to the tower.

Bus 340 from Huddersfield (change at Almondbury on some buses)
