| Bangor (Irish: Beannchor) is a large town in County Down, Northern Ireland, with a population of 76,403 people in the 2001 Census, making it the most populous town in Northern Ireland and the third most populous settlement in Northern Ireland. It is a seaside resort situated on the southern side of Belfast Lough and is situated in the Belfast Metropolitan Area. Bangor Marina is one of the largest in Ireland, and holds Blue Flag status.[1] In 2007, and again in 2008, the town was voted by UTV viewers as the most desirable place to live in Northern Ireland.[2]. The name Bangor is derived from the Irish word Beannchor meaning a staked enclosure. It may also be linked to Beanna, the Irish for cliffs. The area was also known as The Vale of Angels, after Saint Patrick once rested there and had a vision filled with angels.[3] | |
