About Beltra
Beltra is a rural locality in west County Sligo, in the F91 area, set among farmland and the low hills and coastline of the Atlantic-facing west of the county. It is a quiet, dispersed community rather than a conventional village, with homes and farms spread between nearby settlements including Ballisodare, Coolaney, Templeboy and Dromard. Day-to-day life is peaceful and countryside-oriented, with residents generally relying on a car for shopping, school runs and commuting. Primary-school provision is available in surrounding villages, while secondary education and a broader range of services are found in towns such as Ballymote, Collooney, Sligo and Ballina, depending on the direction of travel. The N4 and N17 provide important regional road connections, while rail services are available from Collooney or Ballymote and buses connect larger nearby settlements. Local social life centres on rural pubs, GAA activity and community events, with further restaurants, cafés, supermarkets and healthcare services in Sligo and the surrounding towns. The area also benefits from access to Sligo’s beaches, walking country and landmarks such as Carrowmore Megalithic Cemetery, making it attractive to people seeking space and a strong connection with the landscape.
