Where is Bangor?
Bangor is at the centre of one of the UK’s most beautiful and popular visitor destinations – North Wales. With the spectacular mountains of the Snowdonia National Park and the golden sandy beaches of Anglesey , North Wales has been voted as one of the world’s top locations by the Lonely Planet and the LA Times.
So you can study at university where most people only come on holiday, and it’s only an hour away from the historic city of Chester.
