About

West Winds ward sits on the northern outskirts of Bangor, bordering the shores of Belfast Lough. The area is primarily residential, characterised by housing developments and local amenities that serve the community. Its coastline provides direct access to the lough, with views across the water towards the Antrim hills.

A notable local feature is the North Down Coastal Path, which traverses the ward's shoreline. This path forms part of a longer route connecting Bangor to Holywood, used by walkers and cyclists. The ward includes the grounds of the former Bangor Golf Club, with land now repurposed for other community uses alongside the existing sports pitches in the area.
