Castle is an electoral ward in the coastal borough of Ards and North Down in Northern Ireland, broadly centred on part of Bangor and the area around the historic Bangor Castle and its park. The ward sits close to the seafront and marina, with a mix of Victorian and more modern housing, local shops, cafés and hospitality businesses that serve both residents and visitors to the promenade.
The area combines a maritime and tourist-oriented economy with the day-to-day needs of commuters to Belfast and surrounding towns; it has long associations with Bangor’s development as a Victorian seaside resort layered over much older ecclesiastical history. Green spaces, coastal walks and active community groups and events give the ward a strong local identity despite its proximity to larger urban centres.
