Where was this place?

LoughNeagh2017

I went to some town in Donegal around 15 years ago when I was a young fellow and I'm trying to find out where it was.

I remember there was an old stone srch in the town,

There was a fair on and I remember being on a ferris wheel.

I think there was a pub painted yellow in the town.

No I looked that up in google maps and wasn't it, I don't think it was Bundoran either as it wasn't on the beach.

Rodden's bar in Buncrana is painted yellow

Not sure about a stone arch but there is, or used to be, a small funfair fairly regularly in the summer.

Clonmany? Massive festival on there every August with a carnival, market Square had a brick arch, and there's a heap of pubs some of them still painted yelloe

Ballybofey maybe? Stone archway going into the college court and also the archway at mc connels butchers. Bonners corner bar was painted yellow with beer bubbles around 15 years ago with heineken branding

No wasn't either of those places, I remember the arch was over a road, I am thinking there is a chance this arch was in Derry as I would have drove through it to get there but I am 70% sure it was in this Donegal town. I remember the carnival was in the countryside and you could see a forest when on the ferris wheel.

I have lived in Donegal all my life and I can safely say there are no towns where you drive through an arch in the town so chances are it was Derry where there are 4 different places where you can drive through an arch. The festival could have been in Muff and the forestry you seen was up towards Iskaheen.

I am shocked noone made a joke about Muff being surrounded by forestry.

That an old joke. It a bit like Mrs Brown boys.
