Holywood
Holywood is a town in the city area of Belfast in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is a civil parish and townland consisting of 755 acres resting on the shore of Belfast Lough, in between Belfast and Bangor. Holywood Urban Area is labelled as a medium town within the Belfast Metropolitan Urban Area (BMUA) by the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency, with the 2001 Census documenting a permanent population of 12037. Within this population, around 20 percent are aged under 16 years of age and 21 per cent were aged 60 and over. 50.6 percent of the population is male and 49.4 per cent is female. The train line from Belfast to Holywood arrived in 1848, and this brought about quick advancement. This expansion, in combination with that of close-by towns and villages along the coastal strip to Bangor, necessitated the development of the Holywood Bypass in the early 1970s. The town is a popular house and is noted for its stylish shops, boutiques, arts and crafts. Holywood is most popular for its maypole at the crossroads in the centre of town. Its origin continues to be rather ambiguous, yet, in accordance with regional tradition, it comes from 1700, when a Dutch ship is alleged to have run aground on the shore close by, and the crew erected the damaged mast to reveal their appreciation of the assistance offered to them by the townsfolk. The maypole continues to be in routine use for dancing at the annual May Day fair. The town also holds an annual jazz and blues festival. There are a lot of sporting possibilities in Holywood, being home to football clubs, golf clubs, cricket clubs and a sports association.
