Mapping the Bells of the World


The Guild of Carillonneurs Map is a map of carillons in North America. A carillon consists of a series of at least 23 tuned bells which can be played from a keyboard.

The map shows the location of 179 traditional carillons throughout North America. The map also includes a link to view another Google Map showing carillons throughout the world. The Guild has also created a map for tower bells of all types.

Finally TowerBells.org has a very similar map showing the locations of tubular bells of all types around the world.

Some of the sites are a bit old. This site lists all bells rung for change ringing (over 56lbs): http://dove.cccbr.org.uk/home.php
