Bangor-on-Dee

Also known as Bangor Isycoed, Bangor-on-Dee is mostly famous as the home of the picturesque country racecourse. However, it has a considerable history, playing an important part in the early history of Christianity within Britain. A large monastery flourished here from circa A.D 170 to 615. The pretty village is entered via an impressive bridge of medieval origin, but largely 17th century, which is a scheduled ancient monument. The bridge spans the majestic RiverDee.
