About
Pentir is a community and electoral ward in the county of Gwynedd, Wales, and is 124 miles (199.9 km) from Cardiff and 205 miles (329.4 km) from London. In 2011 the population of Pentir was 2450 with 58.7% of them able to speak Welsh. It includes the Penrhosgarnedd suburbs of Bangor, Glasinfryn, Caerhun and the hamlet of Pentir. The Faenol Hall (Vaenol Estate) is a Grade II* Listed Building within the community, as well as a number of other buildings on the estate, e.g., Chapel of St. Mary. Pentir was historically part of the parish of Bangor. The Local Government Act 1894 directed that parishes could no longer straddle borough boundaries, and so the part of Bangor parish outside the boundary of the municipal borough (city) of Bangor became a separate parish, which took the name Pentir from one of the hamlets it contained. Rural parishes such as Pentir were converted into communities in 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972.
