About
St Albans Clock Tower, a medieval town belfry built in 1405, stands proudly on High Street overlooking St Albans city centre. With its 600‑year‑old bell and impressive 93‑step climb, the tower offers sweeping views of the city and Hertfordshire countryside. Open every weekend and on Bank Holiday Mondays from Easter until the end of September, visitors can experience the tower for a small fee – £2 for adults and free for children. The site is a testament to the city’s civic pride and a key landmark, and is a must‑visit for history enthusiasts and families alike.
