Few rabbit holes in this one 😅 As I’ve mentioned in the description, September and October have been and will continue to be a bit more sparse than usual on the video front. This is because I’m filming two adventures. The first one, the smaller of the two, has been done, and the bigger is coming up in October and requires a fair bit of planning. Thanks for your patience everyone, I promise it’ll be worth it ;)

spoiler alert- but the reason it took him so long was that his instincts correctly told him that it was a place of study - but there was no way he could have known to enter the word "seminary" instead if "university" in the search engine. If he had tried the word "college" he might have found it quicker.

When I first saw that picture, I was sure that I was there before, and it looked super British to me, and considering I saw far only was in London and Edinburgh, I was so sure it would be there. A few years ago, when I considered studying abroad, Maynooth was one of the Universities my university is partnered with, and I looked at them all in google maps, just to see what they look like. I can't remember what I ate yesterday, but somehow pictures of a university I googled for like an hour 3 years ago still feel familiar enough that I was sure I was there before. Gotta love my brain.

Makes sense tbh. Apparently, the more you remember a certain thing, the more that memory changes.

So how I figured this one out in about an hour (Just stumbled across your channel today after youtube recommended me your first one of these Geo detective episodes - Playlist please?) was the Costa Coffee cup with paper straw. Paper straw meant it wasn't a cup the person purchased themselves, that it was purchased at a location. That narrowed it down to almost entirely UK or Ireland. The backpack screamed university student and we have several universities locally that co-opt old buildings like this. So likely a university (or old church) in reasonable distance of a costa coffee. I initially looked in the UK, but nothing really fit when looking at universities. Then I noticed a fair share of costa coffee locales in Dublin, and while looking at universities near Dublin, maynooth university immediately stood out for all the reasons it did for you, plus is was directly in between two costa coffees in close proximity. The only other one I managed to even attempt to get faster than you was the Grand Fork one because of the business name you didn't google. But it didn't take you distinctly longer to find really. Great series, keep up the excellent work!

I live in the next town over and a lot of people go to Maynooth University and you always see Graduation pictures on Instagram in that area.

I happened to only take 3 minutes or so, but only because I watched insofar as you mentioned Ireland, and that was where I started, rather than starting with the U.k. I realized that the crosses seemed more intensely celtic than one'd see elsewheres and the phrase I typed was "irish universities" which lead to a keyword that let me find it.

A very quick one for me! Similar to others I began by googling countries with costa coffee, saw Ireland was a big hit (and got very Irish university vibes from the photo) and looked up a list of Irish universities that had photos attached. Enjoyed Toms architectural deep dive to no end 😃

that looks like a borgo (small Italian village from the Renaissance or Medieval age). there are 300+ of them in Italy, the website I Borghi più Belli d'Italia (the most beautiful borghi in Italy) could come in handy. I haven't checked it, but at first glance it reminds me of Tremosine sul Garda because I've seen it posted on Reddit countless times

Please stop using the term British Isles to include Ireland. It’s an archaic phrase coined by the British in days of empire. People say it’s a only a geographic term but it is politically loaded and expresses dominance of Britain over Ireland. It’s not used in Ireland at any level and not recognised by Irish government. Also British government have stopped using it since 1998 when Good Friday agreement was signed.
