About

Loughry ward lies within the Cookstown District of Mid Ulster, centred around the agricultural campus of CAFRE, the College of Agriculture, Food and Rural Enterprise. This gives the area a distinct educational and research focus related to land-based industries. The landscape is predominantly rural, characterised by mixed farmland and low drumlins, with the Ballinderry River flowing through its western parts. Settlements are small and dispersed, including the hamlet of Tullygiven.

The ward's eastern boundary runs close to the larger town of Cookstown, but Loughry itself maintains a separate, quiet identity. The presence of the Loughry campus, with its specialised facilities for food technology and agri-business, is a defining aspect of the local economy and community. Road connections follow the gentle terrain, linking the area to the wider network while the rural lanes serve the farmsteads and residential clusters scattered across the ward.
