'''Kinallen''' ({{Irish derived place name|Cionn Álainn|beautiful headland}})<ref>[http://www.placenamesni.org/resultsdetail.phtml?entry=11544 Placenames NI] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120611094830/http://www.placenamesni.org/resultsdetail.phtml?entry=11544 |date=2012-06-11 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.logainm.ie/1165756.aspx Placenames Database of Ireland]</ref> is a small [[village]] and [[townland]] in [[County Down]], [[Northern Ireland]]. It is four miles from [[Dromore, County Down|Dromore]] and two miles from [[Dromara]].
Line 40 ⟶ 41:
The village surrounds a crossroads, where the Banbridge-Dromara and Lisburn-Katesbridge roads meet. In recent years, the village has seen some population growth; 300 residents lived in the village in 1991 and it grew to 557 residents in 2001. This is mainly due to attractive house prices in the rural zones of [[Belfast]]'s [[commuter belt]], helped by Kinallen's desirable position in the countryside and its nearness to both the [[A1 road (Northern Ireland)|A1]] dual-carriageway and the [[M1 motorway (Northern Ireland)|M1 motorway]].
The village's recent popularity as a place to live has turned the area into a dormitory settlement for both Belfast and [[Lisburn]]
The village is served by [[Translink (Northern Ireland)|Translink]] ''[[Ulsterbus]]'' bus service 26, which runs between [[Dromara]] and [[Lisburn]] through Kinallen, [[Drumlough, Hillsborough|Drumlough]] and [[Annahilt]]. At peak times, the service extends to the [[Belfast Great Victoria Street railway station|Europa Bus Centre]] in Belfast city centre.
Kinallen's official [[Subscriber Trunk Dialling|telephone dialling code]], like the rest of [[Northern Ireland]] is '''028'''. Kinallen lies within the Dromara telephone exchange area, meaning local numbers commence with 9753xxxx. Until the 2000 [[Big Number Change]], the village constituted part of the 01238 area code ([[Saintfield]]/[[Ballynahinch, County Down|Ballynahinch]]/[[Dromara]]).
