Ashton Court Giant Head Sculpture

Highlight • Monument

The Ashton Court head sculpture is a large, carved stone head that is located in the grounds of Ashton Court, a country house and estate in Bristol, England. The head is thought to represent Goram, one of two mythical giants said to have built Bristol. The other giant, Vincent, is said to be represented by a similar head that is located on the other side of the city.

The Ashton Court head sculpture is made of limestone and is about 2.5 meters (8 feet) tall. It has a long, bearded face with a fierce expression. The head is thought to have been carved in the 17th century, although its exact origins are unknown.

The Ashton Court head sculpture is a popular tourist attraction and is often visited by people who are interested in local history and folklore. It is also a popular spot for photography and is often used as a backdrop for weddings and other events.
