Just outside of Bangor, Porth Penrhyn is a pretty harbour on the edge of the Menai Strait. You'll find fishing boats and coastal freight ships moored up here along the dockside as well as lovely views across the water.

This harbour has been in use since the 18th century at least and a railway was built from Bethesda to carry slate down to the ships.
