Its wildness and naturalness is what makes it a unique, evocative and atmospheric historic monument – or indeed tourism attraction. Lose the wildness, the patch of woodland with its secret views to the river and the twin mound of Clifford’s Tower opposite, and you lose the interest of the visitor as well as the local. An interpretation board on the walls nearby or the foot of the tower would open up the interest more, but ‘tidying’ it up and opening it up would destroy its age old charm.
