Introduction to Bangor (Wales)

Bangor is a small coastal city in North Wales and is a picturesque city offering views over the Menai Straits (especially attractive at sunset) and also serves as a convenient base for visiting the nearby Snowdonia National Park. The city is also a popular place to spend the night for Muslim travellers leaving for Ireland on the Holyhead to Dublin ferry.

With a population of only around 14,000, Bangor is one of the UK's smallest city's. Bangor is a university city and has a large student population and is home to Bangor University, established in 1884.

Around half of the people in the city can speak Welsh, but if you took away all of the students in the university, this figure would be much higher.
