Rasharkin is a rural ward centred on the village of the same name within the Causeway Coast and Glens district of Northern Ireland, located in north County Antrim. The landscape is typical drumlin countryside with farms, a compact village core of shops and churches, and a mix of traditional stone buildings that reflect its rural heritage.
Community life is driven by local clubs, parish groups and seasonal events, while the local economy remains largely agricultural with some residents commuting to nearby towns such as Ballymoney and Ballymena. Its history is more local and vernacular than industrial, so the area is often valued for its countryside character and community traditions.
