The Places of Bristol: Cabot Tower


Possibly one of the most romantic spots in Bristol and only a 2 minute walk from Park Street, Cabot Tower is an isolated fairy tale just off the beaten track. The 32 metre high tower offers stunning views of the city and is situated in Brandon Park, allowing for a perfect lunch spot after the panoramic sights.

Although some may argue that Cabot Tower isn’t exactly a secretive landmark, it took two years until I discovered this beautiful place that steals you away from the hustle and bustle of the Clifton Triangle. It seems the perfect location to spend a much-needed lunch break away from the worries of the day or even a romantic walk in the evening with a view included. Although the actual tower closes at 3:45pm each day, the views are still fascinating from the base of the tower which sits at the perfect height to catch a glimpse of Bristol by moonlight. There really isn’t a more seductive spot. 

Where? Brandon Hill Park
How much? IT'S FREE.
