Victoria Prospect Tower, Heights of Abraham
Victoria Prospect Tower, Heights of Abraham
The Victoria Prospect Tower was built in 1844 to celebrate Queen Victoria's reign. Visitors can climb to the top and see panoramic views of the Derwent Valley below.
In the foreground there are 3 life size metallic cows which were originally part of the first RHS Chatsworth Flower Show.
Just behind the cows is a sculpture to commemorate the visit of the 2012 Olympic Torch to the Heights of Abraham. It is carved out of a single piece of wood with a chainsaw and hand tools.
Finally 3 cable cars are arriving at the Heights of Abraham top station.
