About Beltra
Beltra is a small, rural locality in west County Sligo, in the F91 area between the villages and communities around Ballisodare, Coolaney, Templeboy and Dromard. It is countryside living rather than a village-centre setting, with scattered homes, farmland and a quiet, close-knit feel, while Sligo town remains the main centre for employment, shopping, healthcare and services. Families generally use nearby primary schools in surrounding townlands and villages, with secondary education available in Sligo and at schools serving south and west Sligo. A car is usually essential for daily travel, although regional bus services and the N4 provide useful connections from nearby settlements; Sligo railway station offers rail links towards Dublin and the west. Local everyday shopping and socialising are centred on nearby villages, particularly Ballisodare and Coolaney, while larger supermarket, restaurant and café choice is available in Sligo town. The surrounding landscape provides plenty of scope for walking, cycling and outdoor recreation, with the Ox Mountains, coast and beaches within reach by car. Residents also benefit from Sligo’s sports clubs, cultural venues and healthcare facilities, while local GAA and community organisations provide much of the area’s social life.
