About

Eglinton ward lies on the eastern bank of the River Foyle, forming a largely residential area on the outskirts of Derry. The ward is characterised by housing estates and local community facilities, with a landscape that transitions into more open, green spaces towards its boundaries. It functions as a quieter suburban zone connected to the city's wider road network.

A notable local feature is the presence of the former Eglinton Airfield, a site with historical significance from the Second World War. The area includes agricultural land and the small settlement of Eglinton village itself, which maintains its own distinct centre with shops and services separate from the city.
