About

Knock ward lies in the southwestern part of Belfast, primarily a residential suburb. The area is characterised by a mix of housing, from older terraced streets to more modern developments. It is bordered by the Stewartstown Road and the Upper Lisburn Road, which serve as its main commercial corridors with local shops and services. The ward includes the large Colin Glen Forest Park, providing green space along the Glenside River.

The park features a three-arched railway viaduct, a remnant of the historic Belfast and County Down Railway line that once ran through the glen. Housing estates like Twinbrook and Poleglass are significant parts of the ward. The area is served by several primary schools and community centres, focusing on local needs. Transport links include multiple bus routes connecting the ward to Belfast city centre and beyond.
