Saintfield is an electoral ward centred on the small market town of the same name in County Down, within the Newry, Mourne and Down district of Northern Ireland. It sits in a rolling drumlin landscape, characterised by narrow streets, Georgian and Victorian buildings and a compact conservation area that reflects its long local trading and agricultural history.
The ward combines a rural economy of farms and small businesses with a sizeable commuter population travelling to larger urban centres such as Belfast. Community life is lively for its size, with independent shops, cafes and annual events, and the area is noted for its historic associations with the 1798 uprising and a number of old churches and mills that punctuate the local countryside.
