Nestled between the Menai Straits and Snowdonia National Park lies the city of Bangor. Home to around 16,000 people, the Gwynedd city has become an economic capital for north west Wales.
Known as the ‘city of learning’, it is home to a university, further education college and over ten primary and secondary schools. It boasts a spectacular cathedral and has the biggest hospital in Gwynedd.
Moreover, it has the longest high street in Wales - which is 1,265 metres to be precise. But its length isn’t the only impressive aspect of Bangor High Street. For the best part of 200 hundred years, it has been a shopping hub for the rest of Gwynedd and Anglesey.
