Cabot Tower
At the top of the rise is Brandon Hill, also known as St Brandon’s Hill, built in 1897. The twenty-nine-acre site includes parklands, a nature reserve and Cabot Tower. Cabot Tower was constructed to commemorate John Cabot’s voyage to Newfoundland in 1497 in his ship The Matthew. It is possible to climb the stone steps within the tower to the top as featured in the College Green walk.
