Moneyreagh is a small village and ward in the Lisburn and Castlereagh council area of Northern Ireland, set in the rolling countryside of County Down a short drive from Belfast. Its name reflects its rural origins and the surrounding farmland; today the settlement sits comfortably between quiet lanes and commuter routes, offering a semi‑rural feel while remaining within easy reach of the city and the County Down coast.
Locally the character is residential with a handful of shops, a primary school and community facilities that support active local groups; many residents commute into the city while small businesses and agriculture still shape the local economy. The ward’s growth through the 20th century mirrors wider suburbanisation around Belfast, but it retains a village atmosphere and easy access to countryside and coastal attractions such as nearby Strangford Lough.
