Second one i think is in Trim?

I'm afraid not.

and the last one is Larch hill gardens?

Correct! It's the 'Gibraltar' folly at Larch Hill.

Ive seen the big house before but dont know about that small one

The first photo's a bit of a cheeky angle: most people will be familiar with the featured building, albeit viewed from elsewhere. That's a bit of a clue, I think!

Headfort School in Kells? The back entrance to Slane Castle when you cross the bridge?

Neither of your guesses represent any of my photos, I'm afraid.

By the way, the entrance to Slane Demesne at the bridge is technically the front entrance. The entrance on the Navan road is the back entrance. That's why the estate farm is located closer to the back entrance, whereas the avenue leading from the front entrance is landscaped and what have you.

I stand corrected.

Is beta the entrance into the church in Navan?
Love this game- just found it!

No, not in Navan.

Is Gamma in Julianstown? The old schoolhouse along the main road?

Yes, well done. I don't think it was a schoolhouse, but rather a former police barracks.

Just alpha and beta left. Clues for those. Alpha is a very famous house, but from behind rather than from in front. Beta is right in the centre of a Meath town. I'm completely shocked no one's got it yet. :eek:

Is Beta the entrance to the Church of Ireland in Kells?

Well done! What's especially interesting there are the eighteenth-century kerbstones, which are very pretty.

Just alpha left. A significant, major, historical house in the centre of Meath. As I said, it's an unusual angle. If you can't get it, I'll give a front shot of the house.

europerson

Find attached a front shot of alpha. This won't last long now!

All these big old houses look the same to me. Is it Bellinteer?

corrado

Its going back a bit but is the hedge cut in the shape of two people

Id consider myself to have a fairly good knowledge of Meath but you have me here EuroP??????????????????

It's not Bellinter. A broadly similar style, albeit alpha is larger and older.

I am at a loss myself, I'll go with Beauparc House as a guess?

It's not Beauparc, I'm afraid. I think I'll give it and let someone else put up a photo! Alpha is Ardbraccan House, the former seat of the Bishops of Meath.

It is indeed. Well done! I didn't expect that one to go so quickly!

That really looks like the cemetery from the film "Pet Semetary". Creepy at night I'd say.

We demand more pictures!!
