About

Steeple ward covers a largely residential portion of Antrim town, centred around the Steeple Road area. It includes a mix of housing developments, local retail services, and community facilities that serve the immediate population. The ward extends towards the northeastern edges of the town, incorporating established neighbourhoods and green spaces that provide recreational areas for residents. This part of Antrim functions as a key suburban area with direct connections to the town's main commercial and transport hubs.

The area is defined by the prominent landmark of Antrim's round tower, a historic monastic site that gives the ward its name. This 10th-century stone tower stands within the grounds of Antrim Castle Gardens, providing a distinct historical anchor amidst the modern housing. The ward's landscape includes playing fields, schools, and the valley of the Six Mile Water river, which flows towards Lough Neagh. Local infrastructure supports daily life, with a focus on community-oriented amenities rather than major commercial centres.
