Holiday rentals and lettings in Bangor

Visit the radiant and very curious Eisenhower Pier in Bangor, it's the perfect place to soak up the culture, eat and enjoy the views! It serves as a berth for the larger ships that visit the city. The pier is also home to some rather scaly guillemots, which seem to come and go as they please. Fishing and boat trips along the coast are also an option and are organized from the pier by Bangor Boat Tours. There is also a smaller pier at the entrance, known as the Long Hole, which was once used for mooring smaller boats, only today it seems more for dog walkers and seagulls.

Take a slight detour to Ward Park, which is more like a traditional city centre park, with ponds and ducks, and people feeding the ducks. There are even graceful and beautiful aviaries with more exotic birds. Ward Park covers 37 acres and among its attractions are a children's playground, all-weather hockey pitches, cricket pitch, radiant and beautiful bowling greens, putting green and tennis courts! Other highlights include the War Memorial Monument and a submarine cannon which is great to swing upside down from. Fun fact. A few years ago (2005), drunks broke into the bird cages and killed 24 chickens and a peacock - a real treat.

For those arriving by bus or train, the first image of Bangor will probably be the Castle Park, which is located directly opposite the two stations. Take a stroll through the castle park, which is more of a wooded area than your typical pretty, urban park. There are plenty of activities to do, like watching the glorious duck and swan ponds, having a bite to eat and much more! It's quite nice for a romantic stroll, and you'll probably come across some dog walkers along the way, or even squirrels, plus, for the big botany buffs, there are lots of interesting trees scattered throughout the park, Castle Park is also home to the North Down Museum!

If you're looking for a good place to eat, don't worry! You can easily head to the busy High Street and find a cosy and informal café called Blue Sky. It is very famous for its delicious food. Most of the food served at the café is made with organic ingredients. A burger with Moroccan lamb inside or pasta with meatballs should satisfy your appetite. A selection of drinks are also served, such as liquors, hot chocolates, coffee and juices!
