Map of the UK

Belah is an electoral ward on the eastern side of Carlisle, within the unitary authority of Cumberland in England. It is largely a residential suburb that developed through 20th‑century housing expansion and now comprises a mix of council and private homes alongside small parades of shops, schools and local green spaces.

Its edge‑of‑city location gives a pleasant blend of urban convenience and access to nearby countryside; many residents commute into Carlisle for work while community centres and neighbourhood groups contribute to a strong local identity. Like much of the wider area, the ward has seen periodic regeneration and investment aimed at improving housing, amenities and public spaces.
