Mountsandel is an electoral ward in Causeway Coast and Glens, lying on the northern edge of Coleraine beside the tidal reach of the River Bann. It combines suburban housing and rural farmland, with residents often commuting into town or to nearby employment hubs; the ward’s location means easy access to coastal attractions while retaining a quieter, semi-rural character.
The area is best known for the nearby Mesolithic site at Mount Sandel, one of the earliest known settled sites in Ireland and a focal point for local heritage and archaeology. Tourism to landmarks such as the Giant's Causeway and recreational activities on the River Bann help support local businesses, while community life centres on small clubs, schools and shared conservation and heritage projects.
