About

The Birches ward lies in the rural southwest of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, centred on the village of The Birches itself. The area is characterised by a dispersed settlement pattern of small villages, hamlets, and farmland, with the River Blackwater forming a significant part of its eastern boundary. The landscape is predominantly low-lying, with the land used mainly for agriculture, giving the ward a quiet, open character.

A notable local landmark is the intact and operational Birches Railway Station, a halt on the Belfast to Dublin line, which provides a direct and historic transport link. The area's community life is focused around local schools, churches, and sports clubs, particularly Gaelic Athletic Association grounds, which serve as social hubs. The presence of the river and adjacent canals also influences the area's geography and recreational use.
