About

Bleary ward is situated in the southern part of the Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon district, near the border with County Down. The area is primarily a rural settlement, characterised by a mix of agricultural land and residential development. It lies close to the main transport corridor of the A1 dual carriageway, which connects Belfast to the south, influencing its commuter profile. The local landscape includes gentle drumlin hills and small patches of woodland typical of the region.

The social and commercial focus of the ward centres around its village core, which provides essential local services. The area is home to several community organisations and sports clubs, including a notable lawn bowling club that has produced international competitors. Surrounding townlands feature a pattern of dispersed farms and single dwellings. The presence of the now-closed Bleary railway station, once part of the Great Northern Railway, hints at its historical connections to broader transport networks.
