BEAUTIFUL UNIVERSITY

Spectacular, historic, connected.

Situated on the north coast of Wales, Bangor has both mountains and beaches on its doorstep and is an idyllic backdrop to student life.

Bangor is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty just outside of Snowdonia National Park; the city boasts dramatic views across the sparkling Menai Strait to the stunning Isle of Anglesey.

The city is just two hours by train from Liverpool, and two and a half hours from Manchester. Both are major UK cities with international airports and excellent links to the rest of the country.

London is just over three hours away. Ireland is also easy to reach, with regular ferries running from Holyhead, on Anglesey, to Dublin.

The ancient St Deiniol’s cathedral sits at the heart of Bangor. There’s also a Victorian pier extending into the Menai Strait, as well as three world heritage castles within half an hour of the city. Average summer temperatures are 15-20 degrees, while the city’s coastal location means it enjoys slightly warmer winter weather than the UK average.
