Toome is a compact ward on the north‑west edge of Lough Neagh within the Antrim and Newtownabbey borough of Northern Ireland. It sits beside the River Bann at a historic crossing point and has long been associated with fishing and boat‑building; the sweeping views across the lough and the river give the area a strong waterside character.
Locally the economy still leans on agriculture, freshwater fisheries and small‑scale local services, while many residents commute to larger towns. The community has a quiet, rural feel with a few pubs and clubs, local events and a sense of history tied to the crossing and shoreline industries that shaped the place.
