    This is getting boring.
    If a poster knows the answer, they should just post the answer on thread.
    All this secrets & veils etc is just a pain.
    If you know the answer, post it, then post another pic.

    Sorry, I don't mean any offence to anyone. But that's the game right?

    And with that I'm done, it was all just a bit of craic between people on a forum up until now.

    I think the posters who might know the answers are being fair and just giving a chance to the rest of us all so that everyone gets a fair shot.
    It would be worse if the same person just kept getting them right every time imo.
    This way it's more interactive too and the posters saying they guessed it already is only an encouragement to the rest of us to keep searching imo.
    So, please nobody quit!

    To thine own self be true

    It was always a bit of Craic, but if you, or anyone else knows the answer, just post it.
    That's the point if the whole thread.

    The grotto (I think?) looks a bit like the one here 1954 Marian one here, https://www.dochara.com/places-to-visit/churches-holy-places/roadside-shrines-and-grottoes/, but the source gives that as Bruff, and the Bruff grotto doesn't look like that.. Though I am most likely on the wrong track..

    By not posting the answer immediately, it gives the rest of us a chance. I've spent many an hour trying to figure it out

    Listen, I have been on this thread for years also & I'm entitled to an opinion.
    I've guessed & posted many times. I have no problem with niley knowing everything, just post the answer already

    Anyway, judging by the responses here, I'm in the minority. So forget I said anything.

    Tenuous, yet clear, clue: Only one global mountain range high enough for you to spot this Munster town.

    I can safely say I'm better at finding places than decoding clues, I've a good idea of where that church is but can't for the life of me work out how that clue connects with it :P

    The closest village lies between Mungret and Kildimo on the N69. The church lies just west of due north from that village :)

    Happy hunting.

    Absolutely kicking myself............. This church came into my head straight away when you mentioned Limerick but I had it in my head the car park was bigger and should be in the screenshots you sent.....

    Have parked at Ballybrown Church a good few times to see cars and also to walk to Carrigogunnell Castle :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Well done, Kilboor, you're up.

    (It was actually Carrigogunnell I was originally going with, but I couldn't find a street view, uh, view of it.)

    Someone somewhere in a house decided to put a county flag right at the back of their garden. No doubt someone else in the household was saying "why put it there? would you not put it out the front where someone might see it?". Whoever put it there was thinking "Oh some day, someone will find that flag useful."

    I didn't realise that flag was so clear :rolleyes:
