County Antrim

The area around Newtownabbey.

Newtownabbey is not really one town but a string of former villages along Belfast's northern edge, running from Glengormley on the hill down to Whiteabbey and Jordanstown on the lough shore. Each keeps its own character, from large post-war estates like Rathcoole to the leafy roads of Jordanstown. Because residents say where they live by district, a trade site that names each area it covers will match searches far better than one that just says Newtownabbey or north Belfast.

The nearest town in the same council area is Antrim (12 miles). Elsewhere in County Antrim, Carrickfergus (5 miles), Belfast (6 miles), Lisburn (12 miles) and Larne (13 miles) are within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Holywood (4 miles) is also close. A longer drive takes in Bangor, County Down (10 miles) and Newtownards (11 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

Glengormley, Jordanstown, Whiteabbey, Rathcoole, Monkstown and Mossley: if you work in particular parts of Newtownabbey, those names belong on the site.

From our base in Exeter, Newtownabbey is about 291 miles to the north. Its postcodes start BT.
