About

Castle Demesne is a residential ward situated on the northern outskirts of Carrickfergus, bordering Belfast Lough. The area is characterised by modern housing developments and suburban streets, with significant green space provided by the adjacent Bashfordsland Wood and Oakfield Glen. This creates a setting that blends built environment with accessible woodland areas for local recreation.

The ward's name derives from the historic estate surrounding Carrickfergus Castle, though the castle itself lies just outside its boundary. The presence of Carrickfergus Golf Club and the thoroughfare of the North Road are defining features of the local landscape. Residential life here is supported by several schools and community facilities within the wider town.
