Cabot is a council ward that covers the centre of Bristol. It gets its name from the Cabot Tower – a memorial tower on Brandon Hill that was built to commemorate John Cabot's voyage and "discovery" of North America.

Areas

This ward contains the whole of the medieval city and many of the oldest surviving buildings. Cabot includes Bristol's Docks, the City Centre and the University of Bristol. Cabot has at least 17 churches, a cathedral, a synagogue, four museums, three hospitals, two theatres, two concert halls, and art galleries and cinemas.

Cabot includes: Spike Island, Baltic Wharf, Redcliffe Hill, Queen Square, Baldwin St, the City Centre, the Old City, Broadmead, Canon's Marsh, Brandon Hill, Park St, Bristol University, Kingsdown, Dove St, the east side of Whiteladies Road, the south side of Cotham Hill and Cotham Brow, and the west side of Stokes Croft.

The area that comprises Brandon Hill, Park St, the Triangle, and the area between Park Row and the Hippodrome has been promoted under the name "The West End". Spike Island is the land between the Floating Harbour and the river Avon; from the digging of the "New Cut" until the Bathurst locks were sealed up it was literally an island.
