About

Strangford ward encompasses the village and surrounding rural landscape on the northern shore of Strangford Lough. The area is defined by its coastal setting, with farmland and low hills sloping towards the lough's intricate shoreline. The village itself is a small settlement centered around its historic waterfront and marina, serving as a focal point for the local community and visiting boat traffic.

The lough itself, a large inland sea inlet, dominates the environment and local activities. Its vast, island-studded waters are a designated conservation area of international importance for birdlife. The daily tidal race through the narrow Strangford Narrows at the lough's entrance is a powerful natural phenomenon, shaping both the physical coastline and the area's maritime character.
