About

Washing Bay ward lies along the western shoreline of Lough Neagh, the largest lake in the UK and Ireland. Its low-lying terrain is characterised by flat, reclaimed land historically used for peat extraction, creating a landscape of fields, drainage channels, and small woodland patches. The area is primarily rural, with settlement concentrated in small clusters and individual farmsteads rather than a single village centre. The lough itself dominates the physical and economic environment.

The economy has traditionally been linked to the lough, with commercial eel fishing operating from the small harbour at Washing Bay. Agriculture on the fertile soils remains significant. The area is known for its rich biodiversity, particularly as a habitat for overwintering waterfowl. The flat topography and quiet lanes make it a location for cycling and walking, with direct access to the lough shore offering expansive views across the water.
