Belcarra, County Mayo

Belcarra is a village in Mayo, Ireland about ten kilometers south-east of the county town of Castlebar.

It is a growing village, which recently benefited from the addition of a sewage treatment plant and has had many new houses built in its centre over the last few years.

There are a number of shops. Including, two general stores (Roche's and Cunningham's), two bars (Flukie's Cosy Lounge and Corley's) and has a horse drawn caravan centre (Nestor's) situated next to Nestor's post office and hardware store.

It has done well in Tidy Town competitions over the years and has a fine church (St. Annes) and community centre.

It was recently twinned with Belcarra in British Columbia, Canada.
