10 Monuments & Statues in Bristol That You Shouldn't Miss
Bristol is a quirky British city with beautiful hilly vistas and plenty of historic sights to explore. Anyone interested in ships will have a blast aboard Brunel’s SS Great Britain, the world’s first great oceanliner, and the Matthew, a replica of the ship upon which John Cabot sailed to America in the 15th century. The graceful Clifton Suspension Bridge is another must-see.

Near the Harbourside and only a few steps away from the non-statue you can easily locate the rather grand Cenotaph, a splendid memorial and well worth locating and a few minutes of your time to pay your respects.

John Cabot, an Italian explorer and navigator, discovered, in 1497, the coast of North America. When Cabot arrived in England he went to Bristol to seek financial backers. At that time (the 1490s), Bristol was the second-largest port in England and the only city from where expeditions set off to explore the Atlantic Ocean. In May 1497, with the support of King Henry VII and Bristol merchants, he sailed from Bristol (with a crew of 18 in his 70 foot long ship called Matthew) in a westward direction. On 24 June 1497, Cabot sighted land, which he called New-found-land, and claimed it for England. Cabot mistakenly believed he had landed in Asia. Situated in Bristol City Docks (on Narrow Quay near to Arnolfini) is an interesting sculpture of John Cabot. It is worth a detour to see this sculpture of this intrepid man and, if you are lucky, you will also see the replica of the Matthew moored to Wapping Wharf.
