Holywood is a town in the cosmopolitan region of Belfast in County Down, Northern Ireland. It is a civil parish and townland consisting of 755 acres lying on the coast 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 per cent are aged under 16 years of age and 21 per cent were aged 60 and over. 50.6 per cent of the population is male and 49.4 percent is female. The railway line from Belfast to Holywood arrived in 1848, and this resulted in swift growth. This expansion, in combination with that of nearby towns and villages along the coastal strip to Bangor, demanded the building and construction of the Holywood Bypass in the early 1970s. The town is a popular suburb and is distinguished for its fashionable shops, boutiques, arts and crafts. Holywood is most popular for its maypole at the crossroads in the centre of town. Its origin remains rather uncertain, yet, according to local legend, it originates from 1700, when a Dutch ship is said to have run aground on the coast nearby, and the crew erected the damaged mast to display their appreciation of the support provided 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 event. There are numerous sporting possibilities in Holywood, being the home of football clubs, golf clubs, cricket clubs and a sports association.
