Located in the beautiful Gwynedd, Wales, Bangor is one of the smallest cities in Britain, despite its prestigious role as a University City, where thousands of students flock to its established institutions.
Although it is small, Bangor is an important centre for classical music events, which run at various venues across the city.
|
| Some of the sights to see at Bangor include Garth Pier, the second longest pier in Wales and the ninth longest in the UK. Recently Garth Pier has enjoyed an upgrade to a Grade 2 listed status, and is a great place to watch the coastline. |

| Bangor Cathedral, an ancient and impressive sight, has been a Christian worshipping site since the 6th century and is an amazing example of ancient architecture. Of course, there’s also Bangor Mountain to see. Although not actually a true mountain, Bangor Mountain enjoys an imposing position looking down on the city and is a great place to go for beautiful views in clean-cut air. |
