Scrabo is an electoral ward within the Ards and North Down council area of Northern Ireland, sitting just above Newtownards with sweeping views across Strangford Lough. Its defining feature is Scrabo Hill and the Victorian Scrabo Tower, a prominent landmark and popular spot for walkers and photographers, while the surrounding landscape mixes farmland, suburban housing and patches of reclaimed quarry and parkland.
The ward has a mix of commuter households who work in Belfast and nearby towns, alongside long-standing rural communities; local interest focuses on heritage, conservation and outdoor recreation. Tourism around the tower and hill brings modest economic activity, and the area’s history and open scenery make it a locally valued part of the county Down fringe.
