About Beltra
Beltra is a small, rural locality in west County Sligo, within the F91 area and close to the communities of Ballisodare, Carrowmore, Coolaney, Templeboy and Dromard. The area is characterised by scattered homes, farmland and a quiet countryside setting, with residents relying on nearby villages and Sligo town for most everyday services. Local life is car-dependent, although the N4 and N59 provide useful regional connections towards Sligo, Ballisodare, Collooney, Ballina and the west coast. Primary-school provision is found in surrounding parishes, while secondary schools and further education are generally accessed in Sligo, Ballisodare or nearby towns. Shopping is centred on local village stores and larger supermarkets in Sligo, with pubs, cafés and restaurants available in neighbouring settlements rather than within Beltra itself. Outdoor recreation is a strong feature, with access to the Ox Mountains, rural walking routes, beaches around Strandhill and Enniscrone, and the wider Sligo landscape. For organised sport and community activity, residents typically look to GAA clubs and parish organisations in places such as Coolaney, Ballisodare, Templeboy and Dromard. The area suits buyers seeking space, privacy and a countryside base while remaining within reach of Sligo’s employment, healthcare, shopping and cultural amenities.
