About

Ardoyne is a residential district located in north Belfast, bordered by the Crumlin Road and the Oldpark area. The ward is primarily composed of tightly-packed terraced housing, with local commercial activity focused along the Crumlin and Flax Roads. Its urban layout is defined by these main thoroughfares and a network of smaller streets, creating a densely populated neighbourhood within the city.

The area is historically significant, with its development closely tied to Belfast's industrial linen mills. A large, distinctive peace line, a series of walls and fences, runs through the district, separating communities. Social facilities include several schools, community centres, and playing fields, which serve as focal points for local life alongside the area's traditional pubs and shops.
