Ward in Causeway Coast and Glens, Northern Ireland

|---|---|
| Dialling code: | 02827 (Ballymoney) |
The Route ward sits in north‑east County Antrim within the Causeway Coast and Glens borough, stretching across dramatic coastal and rural landscape. It looks out towards Rathlin Island and lies within easy reach of the Giant's Causeway and the Glens of Antrim, so tourism and hospitality sit alongside farming and small‑scale fishing as important parts of the local economy.
Historically the area is part of the old territory known as The Route, once held by the MacQuillan and later the MacDonnell clans, and that medieval legacy shows in local ruins and place‑names. Communities here are relatively small and close‑knit, with a strong maritime culture, traditional music and seasonal festivals that reflect both living rural life and a steady flow of visitors in the summer months.
