Why Bangor?
Bangor is one of the smallest cities within the UK, however it is bursting full of charm and history. A walk is all that's needed to take in Bangor's attractions, from Bangor Cathedral to its charming, Victorian-era Garth Pier, and a traditional centre of pedestrianised streets, quaint townhouses and Victorian buildings. Add to these the pull of the nearby Snowdonia National Park and the stunning vistas of the Menai Suspension Bridge - another of the city's claim to fame - and Bangor has something for everyone.
