概要
クイックファクト: Perched on a leafy hill, the 105-foot stone tower punctuates the skyline and rewards climbers with sweeping views over the harbor and terracotta rooftops. A narrow spiral staircase of roughly 100 steps squeezes through the core, so footsteps echo and your hand feels the cool, worn stone as you climb.
見どころ: At the summit you can pick out a suspension bridge about 1.5 miles away, and on a clear day more than 20 tall-masted boats dot the harbor through the arched viewing windows. A small brass plaque honors John Cabot and his 1497 voyage, and local guides often invite visitors to count the roughly 100 steps aloud so the stairwell's echo turns the climb into a little chorus.
インサイダーヒント
- Wear sturdy shoes for uneven park paths and the steep, narrow stairwell.
- Carry a small bag; large backpacks make the stair climb awkward.
- Climb up 20–30 minutes before sunset for the best city and bridge photos in warm light.
- Visit on weekday mornings or early evenings to avoid weekend crowds on Brandon Hill.
