Bangor is a city in Gwynedd, in northwestern Wales. With a permanent population of 13,700, it is one of the five cities in Wales and among the smallest cities in Britain. The city is also a university town with a student population of 10,000.

Bangor is on the north coast of Wales facing the Menai Strait, which separates it from the island of Anglesey. The name Bangor comes from Welsh, meaning a fenced-in area. Its name is unrelated to Bangor in Northern Ireland. The city claims to have the longest High Street in the United Kingdom.

About this website



Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
