There are few University Towns or Cities which can rival Bangor as a location- set in a region of outstanding natural beauty with the mountains, lakes and forests of the Snowdonia National Park, as well as Gwynedd's dramatic coastline, on its doorstep.
The area is steeped in history. Bangor itself has been a seat of religion and learning for over 1400 years, a monastery having been founded in the sixth century on the site of the present cathedral. The tomb of one of Wales' foremost princes, Owain Gwynedd, is to be found in the cathedral.
Today the City of Bangor is an important, rapidly expanding commercial
centre. For a community of some 15000 inhabitants, it enjoys a diverse range of shops, restaurants, pubs and other amenities, whilst its compact size and rural setting leave it free from many of the problems of larger industrial cities. Bangor is easily accessible, being only 90 minutes travelling distance from the M56 motorway, via
the A55 coastal expressway.

The ancient capital of Wales and the centre of Welsh language and culture. Superbly situated with fine views of both the Snowdonia Mountains and the Menai Straits. The town benefits from a pretty quayside where the River Seiont flows past the magnificent and famous
Caernarfon Castle, regarded as one of the finest medieval fortresses in Europe. The medieval walled town, boasts a maze of little
(mostly cobbled) streets, houses, pubs and restaurants.

Anglesey
is separated from the mainland by the Menai Strait, which is
spanned by two picturesque bridges, the Menai Bridge and the
Britannia Bridge. Anglesey was known as Mam Cymru
('Mother of Wales') during the middle ages because its
fertile fields formed the breadbasket for the north of
Wales.
Anglesey
has several thriving towns. The historic town of Beaumaris
is the site of one of the castles built by Edward I, as well
as the historic mansion Henllys Hall (now part of a Luxury
Golf Resort). The town of Holyhead, is the main ferry port
for travel across the Irish Sea to Dublin and Llangefni
located in the centre of the island, is the county town.
Anglesey is also renowned for Fine sandy Beaches and
towering sea cliffs, historic houses and Country parks.
