About

Sunnylands is a residential ward located within the town of Carrickfergus in Mid and East Antrim. The area is characterised by housing estates, local schools, and community facilities. It sits inland from the Belfast Lough shoreline, with its landscape defined by gentle slopes and established neighbourhoods. The ward functions primarily as a suburban area for the wider borough, providing homes and essential local services to its residents.

A notable local landmark is the historic Sunnylands House, a Georgian building that now serves as a community hub. The area is connected to Carrickfergus town centre and its medieval castle by regular local road routes. Green spaces are integrated within the housing developments, offering recreational areas. The ward's layout reflects its growth as part of Carrickfergus's expansion in the latter half of the 20th century.
