Dwyrain Bangor

Dwyrain Bangor is a residential ward on the eastern side of the city, encompassing several distinct neighbourhoods. The area is characterised by a mix of housing types, from terraced streets to modern estates, and includes a significant student population due to its proximity to Bangor University's main campus. It contains local amenities such as schools, shops, and community facilities serving its residents.

The ward extends from the urban centre towards more elevated, green spaces with views over the Menai Strait. A notable feature is the presence of the ancient hillfort of Pen-y-Dinas, a scheduled monument located on a wooded hill within its boundaries. This provides a tangible link to the area's long history, contrasting with its contemporary academic and residential functions.
