360-degree panoramic view of the ancient tower 🏰

I had always wanted to hike in the UK, but I didn’t have the guts alone, and one day I found a park near the University of Bristol. Walk down to City Council's Park Street from Bristol University, next to Great George Street and all the way to the end is one of the entrances to the park. This is a small hill, Brandon Hill, unlike other park trails that are always gentle and undulating, with ramps or stone steps... Head towards the highest point and find a redstone tower called Cabot Tower. The tower was built in the eighteenth century, actually commemorating an Italian named John Cabot, who sailed to today's Canada with the support of King Henry VII in the fourteenth century to discover Newfoundland. Bristol was an important seaport in England in ancient times, and John Cabot set out from here, making two trips, once to discover Newfoundland, and the other probably to trade. Fourteenth to eighteenth centuries...why was a tower built to commemorate in Bristol four hundred years later? It turns out that by the eighteenth century, Britain and France wanted to fight for local colonial rights. In the end, Britain won, and in order to consolidate colonial power, they revisited and highlighted the history of four hundred years ago. The world is so realistic! 😏 As for us, we are nothing more than tourists of the world, and there is no need to take it too seriously. That day up the hill, then along the spiral staircase up the tower, the walkway is very narrow, only one half body space, the first floor observation deck four sides respectively four balconies, these days walking places, can see and recognize, then climb the stairs, the walkway is narrower, the top floor is 360 degrees, and marked the direction and distance outside Bristol, at a glance ... see whose eyesight is good? 😂 #OverseasTravel #bristol
