Getting Around Bangor: Walkability, Public Transit & Biking

Ards and North Down

Walkability

85
Excellent

Bangor is highly walkable, particularly in the town center where numerous amenities are conveniently located within walking distance. The coastal setting enhances the pedestrian experience with options like the marina and local attractions such as Bangor Castle and Bangor Abbey. The presence of parks and paths, including Ward Park and the North Down Coastal Path, makes the area inviting for walking. While some residential areas require a longer walk to reach central amenities, overall, the area is well-suited for travelers on foot.

Public Transit

65
Okay

Bangor offers a good level of public transit largely due to its Bangor Bus and Rail Centre which connects to Belfast via frequent train services, and buses operating hourly. This provides a solid connection to key areas, including the major transit hubs and airports. However, coverage does not extend thoroughly to all neighborhoods, so some areas might require additional transit options, but it generally supports travel for business and leisure purposes.

Bikeability

60
Okay

Bangor is fairly bikeable, with developing cycling initiatives and scenic routes such as the North Down Coastal Path. The new Newtownards to Bangor Greenway reflects efforts to expand cycling infrastructure. Although there are areas lacking dedicated bike lanes, there are improvements underway and facilities like the Bangor Cycle Park are available. The city's efforts to boost bike-friendliness suggest promising prospects for cyclists, although present conditions may pose some challenges.
