Guide and Virtual Tour of Bristol: Brandon Hill, Park and Cabot Tower.
Panorama | Review | Map
Brandon Hill is a hill close to Bristol city centre, between the districts of Clifton and Hotwells, in the south west of England.
At the summit is Cabot Tower, opened in 1897 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the voyage by John Cabot from Bristol to Newfoundland in 1497.
The park is steep and is divided into informal gardens, a small nature reserve and open grassland. The two hectare nature reserve has been run since 1980 by the Avon Wildlife Trust who have their headquarters beside the park.
There are great views of the city from this high vantage point, even now (summer 2008) access to the top of Cabot's Tower is not permitted one can still see way down to the city and the river, even more so later in the year on a crisp winter day with the trees bare.
