• The pubic toilets because you might as well pee in the hole that would be left by it, it would be cleaner. Also you won't have to know who's shagging who coz the walls wouldn't be there to read it off.
• The offie coz go to nisa and u get the same things at half the price.
• Llantwitt Major Comprehensive!
• Nisa. Albie's cafe down the beach. Anything attributable to the Jones/Hunt empire.
• Albert's Cafe (The Beach)- I wonder why?
• Gateway, Somerfield or whatever it's calling itself these days, and the entire "precinct"
• Rainbow Plaza ; New building at school
• The Oast House
• The house owned by estate agent Tony Brown - known as Toad Hall to the locals.
• The Nisa kills the appearance of the town centre - it should never have been given planning permission

• The Surfing (on good days!) Good people (many who are now dispersed over the country)
• The Taekwondo Boys (Rock Hard)
• Lovely Salties Shagging behind Somerfield or behind the Kebab Van Beer Arthur James Morris' Saxo (it made me laugh)
• Okey-Dokey STILL being there years after it closed down. Respect that!
• The best things are the Jackson brothers who can provide girls with hours of entertainment,but along with most good things they have- two astonishing girlfriends so HANDS OFF!!! No, but joking aside there are some handsome specimens at Llantwit Major, that are more commonly found at the beach.
• Dramatic coastline and great views over Bristol Channel ; countryside ; interesting mix of people for such a small place (some very rich, some very poor); historic past and attractive West End (old part of town)
• Sunny sea-side surfy sort of scene. Milk shakes from the ice-cream parlour in town. The Oast House on saturday night.
• There is a beach, pubs are all within walking,or staggering, distance of each other.
• History, beach, nearish city & country: good place

The Worst Things

• the worst thing about llantwitt- was that people couldnt see beyond it.
• train station. you could end up visiting by accident
• The inane Llantwit Major gossip population. There are far too many idiots in Llantwit who seem to enjoy creating damaging gossip to amuse themselves. They don't care who it harms, whether there are marriages or relationships involved, or how difficult the people concerned lives are already. They are the dregs of society, who bang the Jungle drums as hard as possible, I would not pee on these people if they were on fire and there are many of them, mainly women. You are unable to speak to anyone of the opposite sex without (according to these evil witches) having an affair with the person with whom you speak. My suggestion is that the gossip poulation of Llantwit Major concentrate on their own boring little lives, ming their own business, and stop trying to mindlessly destroy the lives of others, with what can only be regarded as libellous comments that spread quicker than wildfire
• The Local Surfers are total wankers (but any surfer not from Llantwit knows this) !!! got my car scratched when I was in the water. Loads of attitude over this SHITTY little dirty water wave. Live, Love, Surf. ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU ARE ALL IN-BRED.
• PAUL DAVIDS BREATH
• Gossip!!! Its shit and im over it. Boring, do the same thing every day. can wait for train station
• gossip! every-one knows every-thing. not many good shops and no train station yet
• all the fat tarts who think they r lush cos the 'i have no morals' welsh guards tub them!!
• Police wiv their bullyboy antics,stitchups and downright lies!!!U know im right!!!RAf were bad enuff,now they go and put Squaddies here!!!
• Llantwit Major
• burgandy vw polo drivers, speed bumps, one way system, the smell, no train station (yet), photographers, people who park next to you down the beach and theres a mile of parking spaces, safeys insurance job, the fights are getting petty between friends
• Two faced slags like Brew, St clair and Jeffreys
• Teeny boppers that hang around the sport shop and the chippy on friday and saturday nights.... because they reckon they're all 'ard
• Kappa Tracksuits are invading from outside!!!!!
• the attitude of the youths
• All the little tarts thinking they're wonderful, but really, how minging are you? Your bound to either see, have or hear about a fight on a saturday night, especially if kelly powell is out swinging her head about.
• The boring days that happen quite often
• The little shits on their scooters. They should be careful, people are watching as they have already annoyed several of Llantwit's harder personnel. They are extremely close to having seven shades knocked out of them.
• i love myself miss l brew
• Little fucking sh*ts hanging around town. Cowbridge and Barry is too near to Llantwit.
• atlantic college is run by aliens
• kids hanging up town on a friday and saterday night get drunk.and the police are no ware to be see.
• The State of Llantwit Town, The underfunding by the Council, drive through Cowbridge and take a look at their fancy Street Lighting and Shops, it makes you think why Llantwit pays the highest Council Tax in the Vale of Glamorgan, Llantwit deserves better..
• Beach, no sand (bloody dredgers, and council) Council Old fogies on the Council Speed bumps - waste of money Supposed Roundabout on Beach Road (it's a mint with a hole) James Ranger's attitude James Ranger's face James Ranger's presence Nick Merrick's two-facedness (nice as pie, then a git) Nick Merrick's missus
• Nowhere for teenagers to just hang out
• Bumps on the way into town and NOTHING for the youth apart from drinking.
• Small-mindedness ; dominance of Jones/Hunt evil empire ; poor transport links
• The Oast House onn Friday night.
• Nothing to do after 12:30am except go to the infamous kebab van. Complete lack of something to do if you are not old enough to go into the pubs.
• Tnhe appearance of the NISA

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
