Belcarra (Baile na Cora) village is located in County Mayo in the West of Ireland.  The name means ‘the village of the weir’ or river-crossing. It is referred to on some old maps as Ballycarra but the name was changed by deed poll in 1970 to Belcarra. It is 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) south-east of the county town of Castlebar.

There is a vibrant community with a Community Centre in the heart of the village which hosts a wide-variety of social events, community groups and remote working hub with fibre optic broadband. There are amenities such as: sports centre, recreational park with playground, riverside walk, general grocer with postal service, artisan butcher, recycling centre, and two pubs. The Local Business section gives details of all businesses in the area.

St Anne’s Catholic Church is also located in the heart of the village close to the Community Centre.

Our village received its first county award for the tidiest village in Mayo in 1977 and has gone on to win county Tidy Towns Award on fourteen occasions so far.

In 2007, Belcarra was twinned with Belcarra, British Columbia in Canada.
