The Ashdown Forest Llama Park is a large park situated in the Ashdown Forest, East Sussex, at Wych Cross, Forest Row. It is home to more than 100 llamas and alpacas.
This number has increased dramatically since its foundation in 1987 and the opening of the park in 1996.
Goats are also present at the park, but in much smaller numbers in the 'goat house', one of the three 'original' buildings (the others housing the museum and the shop).

The Royal Pavilion is a former royal residence located in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was built in the 19th Century as a seaside retreat for the then Prince Regent. It is often referred to as the Brighton Pavilion. It is built in the Indo-Saracenic style prevalent in India for most part of the 19th century.
The Prince Regent, who later became King George IV, first visited Brighton in the year of 1783, due to his physician advising him that the seawater would be beneficial to his gout. In 1786 he rented a farmhouse in the Old Steine area of Brighton. Being remote from the Royal Court in London, the Pavilion was also a discreet location for the Prince to enjoy liaisons with his long-time companion, Mrs Fitzherbert. The Prince had wished to marry her, and may have done so secretly; however this was illegal due to her Catholic religion.
