In the old town, walking through charming cobbled alleys and Georgian style mansions, travelers will also find Bristol University, the Wills Memorial Building Tower, and Cabot Tower. This is a delicate and remarkably high construction commemorating John Cabot and his famous journey in 1497 to find new land (the now well-known Canada!). Travelers will have the opportunity to listen to stories about swashbuckling pirates and the crucial role Bristol played in the Golden Age of Piracy. You will also learn about the involvement of Bristol in the tobacco, sugar and slave trading with North America and the Caribbean. Not far from this area, the group will find the Bristol Cathedral, admired for its Gothic stained-glass windows and organ.
