So, I went to Europe 2 years ago (Almost exactly), and I just got to thinking about it a couple of days ago for whatever reason. I have an itching to go back, but I don't have the money to travel, so all I can do is look at pictures from my trip, or go online, look up the places I went to and say "I've been there!"


However...I completely forgot the names of the places I went to (Mostly buildings), and I was wondering if you guys could help me out here since google is being an asshole. There are several places.

1) When I was in Ireland {Very close to the ring of Kerry. I stayed in the town of Killarney), my friends and I went to this mansion type building. To the left there was a large park/yard area where people could picnic, and lay down. but all around the building there were walkways and stone stairways to beautiful areas, and gardens.

2) In London, My friends and I went to a rather large Cathedral. I unfortunately don't have pictures to help, but I think there were lion statues in the front, and we also went into the catacombs of the church as well where it was laid out almost like a museum (I assume there were important or famous people buried down there as well), and there was marble everywhere.

3) While I was in Wales, we stayed in a very old hotel that was known for being "haunted" (Those were a couple of unsettling nights, but that's irrelevant). It's a yellow building. I can't seem to find the name of it on google, and it's killing me.


That's it for now. I'd appreciate it if you guys could help me out!

    The first one _could_ be kilkenny castle...

    Second one is either St. Paul's (Queen Victoria is in front of St. Paul's, and they have Lord Admiral Nelson buried in the catacombs) or Westminster Abbey.

    Not sure about the Wales one though.

    Sounds like St. Pauls Cathedral. There's a ton of pictures on Wikipedia which might jog your memory.

    The first one isn't Kilkenny, unfortunately. That one's tough though

    the second COULD be Westminster Abbey, but the front of the building doesn't look like what I remember, the inside however does.

    And I found the Wales Hotel. It's called the Hand Hotel!

    Thanks guys for you help so far! I just need to figure out what the first place is!

    That may help you with the first one. Looks like it could be "Muckross House, Gardens and Traditional Farms"

    My guess for the first one is Muckross House.

    Oh someone beat me to it. Well, I second his guess then.
