B. Travel
See attached map for more details.
Travelling to Bangor by car
In most cases, the fastest route to Bangor is the A55 expressway along the North Wales coast. If you are travelling from the South/West of England from the M6, follow the M54 signs towards Shrewsbury, Wrexham and Chester to the A55 to Bangor. If you are travelling from the North, you need to take the M56 and then the A55 to Bangor.
From West Wales, you should follow the A487 to Aberystwyth, and then via Dolgellau, Porthmadog and Caernarfon to Bangor. From South Wales the best route is via Hereford, Leominster and Shrewsbury, then follow Wrexham and Chester signs to the A55 to Bangor.
DIRECTIONS FROM THE A55 &
A5:
On leaving the A55 (Jct. 11) at the first turn-off signposted
Bangor, follow the signs for the University.
This will bring you into the city along Beach Road and Garth Road as
shown on the enclosed map. The main University buildings are
situated on College Road.
DIRECTIONS FROM THE A487:
At the A487/A4087 roundabout, instead of taking the A4087 towards
Bangor, please take the exit signposted ‘Conwy / Holyhead'.
At the next three roundabouts follow the signs for Bangor. The
main University buildings are situated on College Road. Please see
