• OK so I know it's not strictly skateboarding, but if you feel like strapping the board to your feet and skating on toothbrush bristles thn come snowboarding at Madeley Ski Slope. Despite Telford generally being a very dull place, here is the only decent place to go, especially when the local riders come and session a few ramps or one of Jamie Baker's very own dryslope comps are on.
• Magistrate's Court: steps, walls, benches, drops. Southwater Square, town centre, marble benches, steps, walls. Horse-shoe shaped bowl at Wormbridge rough and full of crap but can be fun. (Turn off Queensway for Oakengates (A158). First left, first right and follow the road to the park.) Legendary full-pipe underneath Queensway near Halesfield. Also banks and assorted other wonders, under cover, lit. Underneath Queensway by Station Hill near junction with Slaney Street. Well worth a visit Banks around ABB building. Oakengates town centre also OK. Undercover car park at Central Business Park. Steps, walls, slide bars in Madeley Centre. AMC Cinema. Cascades. Hills in Ironbridge would turn shit white.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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.
