Cabot Tower and Brandon Hill, Bristol: 11 reviews and 26 photos
Cabot Tower was built in 1897-8 to commemorate John Cabot's Bristol-financed voyage to the New World in 1497. Whatever it's architectural merits, (eclectic Late Victorian to put it kindly, the work of the delightfully named local architect William Venn Gough, who also had a hand in the Granary and was responsible for Colston Girl's School) it makes a picturesque enough landmark from a distance and obviously affords a fantastic view.
STOP PRESS%c
Cabot Tower has just been reopned, having been clsed for th last four years for a £420,000 restoration to stop it falling down.
Directions: Behind the Council House. Can't miss it, it's a tall building on top of a hill. Everything possible has been done to make it obvious.
