Down (district)
Down is a district in Northern Ireland. As a political division, it is not to be confused with the historical County Down of Ireland, though it comprises much of the area of that county.
Down's main town is Downpatrick, located in the eastern portion of the district. The other towns are Ardglass, Ballynahinch, Castlewellan, Clough, Crossgar, Dundrum, Killough, Killyleagh, Newcastle, Saintfield, Seaforde, Strangford, and Tyrella.
In elections for the Westminster Parliament it is split between the Strangford constituency and the South Down constituency.
