That's a bit of a blasted heath for a greenhouse. It looks like west Cork or Connemara!

I can't be sure from this picture but it looks quite like Kylemore Abbey: www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&... "extensive group of mainly ruinous glasshouses to north-east quadrant", it says.

They are very ornate glasshouses. A sort of arched roof on each!

Bellevue was a Big House, now gone. GeoHive OSI 25", I think all the crosshatched buildings are glasshouses.

A google maps aerial view shows the walls standing, but the glass is all gone.

" ... a 650-feet conservatory, which would house many exotic plants as well as an orangery, a cherry house, a peach house and a vinery. Completed in 1793, this magnificent creation was then the largest conservatory in Europe. ..." From www.greystonesguide.ie/requiem-for-the-big-house-on-the-h... - includes a YouTube video of a walk around the grounds with locals holding a copy of this photo.

Ha ha! Beautiful gardens were laid out with winding paths and "extras" built by David and his son, Peter, when he inherited in 1785. Among these was the Octagon, built in 1766, with a panther on springs, which could be made to jump out at unwary visitors. The house was most famous for its huge glasshouse, built between 1783 and 1793, in which many exotic plants were grown.
