Rostrevor electoral ward sits on the south shore of Carlingford Lough at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, within the Newry, Mourne and Down district of Northern Ireland. The ward includes the village and surrounding countryside and is prized for its dramatic scenery – Kilbroney Park with its ancient trees and the famous Cloughmore "Big Stone" on the hillside are local landmarks popular with walkers and photographers.
Locally the economy mixes tourism, small-scale farming and village services, and there’s a strong community life with arts, music and outdoor recreation central to social life. Historic layers – from Gaelic roots to Victorian development as a seaside and mountain retreat – give the area a compact but varied cultural identity.
