 Most of Belfast, including the city centre, is in County Antrim, but parts of East and South Belfast are in County Down.

Hi,
    Hallmark is correct but I believe that on this site Belfast as a whole is considered to be Co. Antrim.

All the Belfast queries belong under County Antrim to keep everything together.

I've just replies to a rather jumbled thread of yours on TYRONE board-

If you wish it moved to ANTRIM board just click on 'report to moderator' and ask for it to be moved and title corrected.
