Bangor

Small but lively city and university town. Bangor Cathedral has ancient roots – this religious site can be traced back to the 6th century. The former Bishop’s Palace has been refurbished as the new home for the museum and gallery, called Storiel. Bangor has lots of leisure facilities including pool and a pier where you can enjoy a favourite local treat of tea and fresh scones. A good shopping scene too along what’s reputed to be Wales’s longest High Street, boosted by the modern Deiniol and Menai centres.
