Map of the UK

Macosquin is a small rural ward and village on the outskirts of Coleraine in the Causeway Coast and Glens district of County Londonderry. Set among rolling farmland with straightforward road links to the town, it sits within easy reach of the Bann and the lively North Coast, so it feels both quietly agricultural and connected to bigger centres of work and tourism.

The community has long roots and a strong local identity, centred on village institutions such as the church, school and community hall, with farming and local services traditionally forming the backbone of the economy. Its proximity to popular coastal attractions brings seasonal visitors and employment opportunities, while village life remains focused on small‑scale agriculture, local events and an intimate social scene rather than urban amenities.
