Kells is an electoral ward in Mid and East Antrim, Northern Ireland, set in predominantly rural countryside on the approaches to the larger town of Ballymena. It combines farmland and small clusters of housing rather than a single urban centre, and many residents commute to nearby employment hubs such as Ballymena, Larne or Belfast, while local life still revolves around village halls, churches and small businesses.
The area has a quietly historic feel, with old farmhouses, country lanes and remnants of local industry and parish life that reflect its long rural past. Scenic views and a close-knit community character are notable: events and clubs give the ward a social focus, while its position near the coastal and upland attractions of the wider Antrim area makes it appealing for those seeking a countryside base within reach of larger towns.
