About

Kilroot ward occupies a coastal stretch along the northern shore of Belfast Lough. The area is primarily industrial, centred on the Kilroot Power Station and the associated harbour facilities at Kilroot and Eden. The landscape is dominated by energy infrastructure and port operations, with the railway line and the A2 road running parallel to the shoreline, connecting to the wider borough.

The ward includes the residential settlement of Eden, along with areas of farmland on its inland edges. The presence of the power station and the deep-water port defines the local economy. The mudflats and coastal margins near the lough provide habitat for birdlife, contrasting with the industrial character of the zone.
