Map 1 Bangor, North Wales in the UK

Bangor is easily accessible either by road or by rail. Map 1 indicates Bangor's position in the U.K. By rail Bangor has direct links with London, Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Crewe.

By road along North Wales, follow the A55 or the A5 until the point where the two roads intersect (Junction 11 on the A55). Then follow the A5122 for some 5 kilometres to the eastern  outskirts of Bangor. (See Map 2).

Map 3 is a larger scale and hopefully will be of some help in locating the St Deiniol Golf Club.

Have a pleasant and trouble-free journey to Bangor. Enjoy both your visit and your golf.

Map 3 Now you are in Bangor, where are we?

Follow the A5122 northwards until the sign for the golf course (on the left hand side). Turn left into the High Street (Stryd Fawr) and almost immediately (maybe 60 metres) left again into Pen-y-Bryn.

Pen-y-Bryn has a sharp right turn, before leading straight up to the final right bend into the Golf Club car park.

If all else fails, call 01248 353098, tell us where you are and someone will probably come and find you. 

This might cost you a pint but you will make a friend for life.

TOURIST INFORMATION

Bangor is a centre from which many widely varied activities and attractions are within easy reach. In Bangor itself there is the Cathedral, the University Building on College Road and the Pier. This latter was refurbished and re-opened to the public on 7th May, 1988.

Penrhyn Castle, owned by the National Trust, was built by Slate-quarry owners using entirely local labour. This magnificent building displays splendid interior decoration, furniture and contains an important collection of old master paintings. Penrhyn is surrounded by spectacular grounds and views. The Industrial Railway Museum is lovingly maintained and is well worth a visit.

For the more active there are walks on the Snowdonia range of hills ranging from the more leisurely stroll to the rock faces requiring the skills of the experienced mountaineer. For those venturing to the hills any effort will be handsomely rewarded by the magnificent views.

A visit to the Aber Falls requires a pleasant walk of about 2 kilometres from the car park at Aber (some 8 kilometres along the A55 from Bangor). The waterfall descends from a height of 70 metres of which the last 40 metres is sheer overhang drop.

A good view of the Menai Strait can be obtained from the top of the Marquis of Anglesey's Column in LlanfairPG. While there a visit to "Pringle's" will provide interesting shopping (including golfing equipment) for all the family. Just beyond Brynsiencyn (along the A4080 from LlanfairPG) the Sea Zoo provides a well-organised display of virtually all the marine life to be found in the area, including working tidal models.

Of historical interest the castles at Beaumaris, Caernarfon and Conwy provide insight into the way of life during the 13th and 14th centuries.

The Welsh Slate Museum in Llanberis provides a fascinating insight into the slate industry and into a bygone way of life. Almost adjacent there is the more modern type of industrial development as displayed at the Dinorwic "Pumped Storage Power Station" which is well worth a visit. Also in Llanberis, especially for the "rail enthusiast", there is the Llanberis Lake Railway along the side of Llyn Padarn and also the Snowdon Mountain Railway.    

The recently constructed Welsh Highland Railway now runs from Caernarfon to Rhyd Ddu via Dinas and provides fabulous views of Snowdon (weather permitting!). CAMRA members will know that the Snowdon Parc Brew Pub, (next to the station at Waunfawr and with its own camp site), supplies real ale from its own mini brewery.

In fact, both within and within easy reach of Bangor, there are many more attractions from which it should be possible to suit all tastes.

Enjoy your visit.
