This site has a long history, dating back over 4,000 years. It was first used as an Iron Age hill fort. Later, in the Middle Ages, there was a castle on the hill. Now, only the well of the castle is left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Victoria Tower was built in 1897 to celebrate Queen Victoria&#8217;s 60th year as queen. This tower is a famous landmark in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_65 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<label for=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d1d9cdad7e\" class=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-label\"><span class=\"ez-toc-cssicon\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/label><input type=\"checkbox\"  id=\"ez-toc-cssicon-toggle-item-662d1d9cdad7e\"  aria-label=\"Toggle\" \/><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yorkshire.com\/attractions\/castle-hill-and-victoria-tower-182552\/#Important_Rules_for_Visitors\" title=\"Important Rules for Visitors\">Important Rules for Visitors<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yorkshire.com\/attractions\/castle-hill-and-victoria-tower-182552\/#Prices\" title=\"Prices\">Prices<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.yorkshire.com\/attractions\/castle-hill-and-victoria-tower-182552\/#Facilities\" title=\"Facilities\">Facilities<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Important_Rules_for_Visitors\"><\/span>Important Rules for Visitors<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>No Camping:<\/strong> Camping is not allowed to protect the site.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>No Barbecues or Fires:<\/strong> These can damage the ancient monument and the plants around it.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kite Buggies:<\/strong> These are discouraged because they can harm the monument and are not safe for other people visiting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kite Flying:<\/strong> Be careful with kites.
