		Knowsley is a private home that is now used for weddings, conferences, and charity functions.
		Reading Hawthorne’s description of the outside of the Knowsley home as a dark and dreary house that did not appear to be anything special was quite interesting after the group had our own experience at the home earlier in the week.

		We visited Knowsley Safari Park yesterday - we usually go there a few times a year, for me to take photos and see the sealions (sealions being my most favourite animal).
		There were 3 lanes of traffic, bumber to bumber going around the 5 mile park, so after queuing for 2 hrs just to get in and see the lions in the first pen, we skipped down all the short routes we could find to just get out of there.
		Once we'd parked up, we got to see the sealions, and could walk around and see the meercats, giraffes and elephants.

	Hungry lions' Smart new prey escapes after safari park scare - Ummah.com
		IT IS a proud mechanical beast virtually unknown on the savannah of the Serengeti, but in the wilds of a British safari park, a new prey has been added to the lions' lunch menu: the Smart car.
		While larger, more substantial vehicles visiting the park barely raise an eyebrow among the safari's pride of lions, those touring in Smart cars are routinely chased by aggressive lionesses.
		Last year, one couple visiting the park in their Smart vehicle attracted unwanted attention; when lions approached their car, the driver sped up, then watched with mounting horror as three or four lions began pelting after him.
