Rising 105 feet (32 m) above Brandon Hill, Cabot Tower was built in 1897–98 to mark 400 years since John Cabot sailed from Bristol to the land later known as Canada. Designed by William Venn Gough and paid for by public subscription, the Grade II-listed tower has viewing platforms near the top with wide views over the city and harbour.
