About

Cultra is a residential ward located along the southern shore of Belfast Lough. The area is characterised by quiet, leafy streets and housing that ranges from historic properties to modern developments. Its elevated position offers views across the water towards Carrickfergus. The ward includes a significant portion of the Cultra Manor estate, which is a dominant feature of the local landscape.

The grounds of Cultra Manor are home to the Ulster Folk Museum and Transport Museum, forming a major cultural and educational site. This large, open-air attraction contrasts with the otherwise settled residential character of the surrounding neighbourhood. The area is bordered by the main railway line and the A2 road, which connect it to Holywood and Belfast.
