About

Carnmoney ward lies in the eastern part of the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough. The area is primarily residential, characterised by suburban housing estates and local commercial centres serving the community. It contains the large, developed townland of Carnmoney, from which it takes its name, and is bordered by the wards of Glengormley and Ballyclare. The landscape includes rolling green hills that form a backdrop to the settled areas.

The ward is notable for Carnmoney Hill, a prominent forested peak offering walking trails and views over Belfast Lough and the city. This open space provides a significant recreational resource amidst the suburb. The local road network, including the A8, facilitates connectivity to Belfast and other parts of the borough. The area's development has been shaped by its proximity to the city while maintaining a distinct local character.
