Things to see and do Bangor

A Visitor Centre helps you organize your excursion to one of the wildest mountain ranges in Snowdonia, Cwm Idwal, which dates back to the Ice Age. Professional guides are on hand to give you advice. One of the most popular routes from this destination is the one to the Idwal Lake (Llyn Idwal). It's probably one of the most impressive in the country. It is located at the foot of a dark massif, a kind of impressive "burnt mountain" called the "Devil's Kitchen". About four hours for five miles.

Built between 1820 and 1830 by the miners with money from the slate quarries, for the benefit of their boss George Dawkins-Pennant, this small palace with its 300 rooms is considered by the Welsh as a mark of oppression of the rich English bosses. Nevertheless, just for the size of the castle and its excellent state of preservation, a visit is well worthwhile. It is also possible to visit only those gardens that are worth the detour, especially in winter when the castle is closed. Or the summer if you want to cut back a little bit.
