One of south Donegal’s oldest and well-known pubs has been placed on the market, it has emerged.
Biddy’s Bar of Glencolmcille, which was built over 200 years ago, has been a popular well-loved watering hole for tourists who visit the Gaeltacht village.
However, after years of falling into disrepair, the current owners have now took the decision to sell the pub.
The folk village is on the Atlantic coast west of Donegal Town in the north-west of Ireland. It consists of several small cottages in the Gaeltacht.
It was built and maintained by the local people and it is one of Ireland’s best living-history museums.
