DUNAGHY
SETTLEMENT DESIGNATION
Dunaghy is located 4 kilometres east of Ballymoney and a short distance
east of the main A26 route from Coleraine to Ballymena. It is
located within the Ballymoney/Coleraine Green Belt. The settlement is
comprised mainly of a number of relatively small post-War housing developments,
initially by the public sector but since 1980 also by the private sector. Dunaghy
contains a primary school, a filling station and shop and two community halls. A
number of commercial businesses are located at Landhead Road.
The hamlet has developed as two main clusters, with private sector housing around Landhead Primary School to the west and
most of the older development to the east. In the past decade housing
developments have taken place at Landsdale Park and Barkley Court resulting in a
slight increase in the estimated population from 400 in 1991 to 420 by 2001. Dunaghy is designated a Hamlet in the Settlement Hierarchy in Volume 1 of the Plan.
