Name That Skyline - Picture Game

[pvpeacock]

Salisbury

 

[An Ankoù]

Yes it is UK.
Sorry to post a UK skyline on a US forum. Didn't have many options in my gallery/
Nope. It's not Salisbury.
Here's a clue: Is that red dog tied up? Who does he belong to?

 

[An Ankoù]

More clues if you don't get it by the morning. It's 2340 now. Zzzzzzz

 

[An Ankoù]

What? No takers?
Here's a giveaway cryptic clue:

"Kimberly's feral dad visited in '68"

Corfe castle

Corfe castle

Nice try, CC, but no. Corfe Castle is a ruin on a hill, but I see all the elements are there. Try to decipher the clue. I think it's the only chance those not familiar with UK skylines will have.

Here's Corfe Castle.
I once had a cider in the Red Lion in Swanage called "Far Corfe". The worst thing I've ever tasted.

AA Is it in Dorset though?

AA Is it in Dorset though?

No.
It's morning in New York so time for another cryptic clue.
This one should narrow down the geographic location a bit:

"This number’s barred in Europe. Not so in England. Sounds like we should cross it instead."

Come on you skyline lovers. Guesses good until about 0900 GMT then will be incommunicado most of Sunday and Monday as driving to Northern extremes of France (and hopefully into Belgium) for a week of solid research. So if I don't answer as soon as you'd like, that's why. Or I might be drunk and incapable.

Chepstow, something to do with the crossing of the River Severn?

 

[An Ankoù]

Chepstow, something to do with the crossing of the River Severn?

You're very, very close @bruce_the_loon . Right country and right county. Well done for unravelling my clue about numbers. Look again at the other two clues.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Tintern Abbey

 

[An Ankoù]

Tintern Abbey

Nope.
The challenge is to name the town, not the ruins from where the photo was taken. Although the ruins are named as part of that town.

 

[An Ankoù]

Come on world. Last clue before I reveal the skyline.
Or rather an explanation of one of the clues:

Here's a clue: Is that red dog tied up? Who does he belong to?

"Kimberly's feral dad visited in '68"

Kim's dad is called Marty.

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Monmouth castle

 

[An Ankoù]

Monmouth castle

Getting closer, but don't recall that Kim's dad ever waxed lyrical about Monmouth (we're after the town, not the ruin).

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Abergavenny

 

[An Ankoù]

Abergavenny

Yes. At last.
Félicitations.
Rejoice.

I'm in the sticks with no WiFi, but Google Abergavenny by Marty Wilde.

[Cheshire Cat]

No takers. So here’s a clue UK and location of a disaster.

Tay Road Bridge

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Yes the Tay Road bridge in Dundee. You’re on Gov

 

[govner1]

In honor of the season-

 

[Brew_Dude41]

I love the picture and the pull on this all hallow's eve but I don't want to find something to post next.

Well done...

 

[Cheshire Cat]

Bran castle Romania?

 

[govner1]

That’s it! Bran Brasov in Transylvania Romania.
You’re up CC

 

[Cheshire Cat]

In common?

In common?

Whitby Abbey? Where Dracula ended up in the novel?

 

[Cheshire Cat]

The theme is correct but not the building
