Visiting Bangor

Sights

​

Roman Camp and Garth Pier offer great views of the mountains and sea, and are a short walk from campus. Weather permitting, I'm happy to lead a group work after lunch on Friday.

Walking over Menai Bridge to Anglesey also offers great views, and takes about 30/40 minutes  to walk from campus (there are also buses). Menai Bridge has lots of nice pubs, restaurants and shops as well.
