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 &
