Brandon Hill
About

Brandon Hill is one of Bristol’s oldest and most beloved public parks, offering a blend of natural beauty, panoramic views, and historical significance. Rising between Park Street and Hotwells, the hill is crowned by Cabot Tower, a Victorian monument commemorating explorer John Cabot’s 1497 voyage to North America. The park’s winding paths, terraced lawns, and wooded slopes create a peaceful retreat just minutes from the city centre. Wildlife thrives among its mature trees and wildflower patches, while benches and viewpoints invite quiet reflection. Brandon Hill has long served as a communal space for relaxation, celebration, and inspiration, with artists and writers drawn to its elevated perspective and timeless charm. Whether climbing to the tower’s summit or strolling through its gardens, visitors encounter a landscape where Bristol’s heritage and natural grace meet in harmony.
