Maze

Maze ward sits in the southwestern section of Lisburn and Castlereagh, encompassing a mix of rural and suburban landscapes. The area includes the village of Maze itself, along with surrounding townlands and residential developments. It is bordered by the River Lagan to the east, providing a natural boundary. The local road network connects the ward to Lisburn city centre and other parts of the district, facilitating daily commutes and local travel for residents.

The ward's history is closely linked to the former Maze prison site, a significant and complex part of the region's past. This large area has been the subject of extensive redevelopment plans and discussions regarding its future use. Agriculture remains an active presence in the more rural sections, with fields and farmsteads characterising the landscape away from the main settlements. The ward functions primarily as a residential area for those working in Lisburn and greater Belfast.
