• Exploring!
• waterfall! i like climbing up the waterfall! and that earby is mentioned in the domesday book and barlick isn't!! nah nah nah nah nah
• For all those people who slag Earby off I suggest you move from Earby (if you haven't already done so) as you do not deserve to live there. I agree its quiet but thats its beauty. A fantastic place for children to grow up in the countryside and yet nearer enough to larger towns for them to experince town/ city life too. True Earbyites- If you are feeling a little dissallusioned by your town, leave for a month or so and you'll soon realise how much you miss it. I did.
• The women are easy. Leaving
• the road out
• THE BEST THINGS IN EARBY IS THE WATERFALLS.
• The road out
• The best thing about Earby is its friendly people no one is ever a stranger for long. contary to some peoples belief this is hospitality and not being nosey
• fields for walking, fresh air and general freiendliness of the people who live there.
• The main road going out of Earby
• The best thing about Earby is the beautiful park called the Waterfalls I spent many hours up there when I was a child. whatever the season it was a magical place to be!!!
• seeitlocal.com - New website concentrating on community organisations in Earby. Have a look, it's growing rapidly.
• BIRLEY PLAYING FEILDS, WATERFALLS, PANARAMIC VIEWS, KIDDIES PARK, AND SO VERY VERY QUITE,
• Everything about Earby is great I grew up there and I love to go back. Earby Count Primary School is a great little school, which I attended.
• The Beck and the adventures
• The view from the moor at The Pinnacle (not far form the antennae thing that looks like a butterfly bun).
• PubWebDesign. All of your web building and domain registration needs.
• For kids growing..... it hasent changed from when i did BAD...times have

The Worst Things

• you cannot leave
• People always slag it off.they piss me off.IF YOU DO'NT LIKE IT,MOVE TO LEEDS.
• Being grounded, growing up, and it raining!
• the wizack (my spellings well bad)
• The off comers or outsiders that have invaded earby and are slowly trying to turn it into a small colne or nelson. For those true earbyites its always been a place of beauty and not for those people who hang out on the streets and create drug busts, muggings etc etc etc. And also poeple with no idea of what litter bins are for!!!
• the women are easy. Fat bigots with glasses and flat caps. people believing that it makes a difference whether they have yorkshire or lancashire on their mail.
• IS GOODALL ESTATE NO BANK LOADS OF EMPTY SHOPS .
• the road in
• The fact that in 1974 Lancashire stole us from Yorkshire, Liberal rule but that is now starting to deminish, shame Chris Todd did not win that election but we live in hope
• steps outside pubs meaning wheel;chair people cannot get in. the empty shops, and the nusicance caused by youths with nopthing better to do with their time. no bank or money machine as yet. Not enough supermarkets there is only one the coop which is expensive and has a large step outside again making wheelchair access impossible.
• Breaking down there
• Is you refer to Earby as Lancashire,as any local will tell you it is Yorkshire . So please get it right before you put it on the Web .
• THE NUTTY FARMER WHO KEEPS PAINTING ALL THE DRY STONE WALLS WITH BRIGHT YELLOW PAINT SOMETHING ABOUT DOGS NOT ALLOWED ON THE GRASS TO DOO DOO
• Nothing
• Fall out from plastics. Why is it painted blue? and not green to blend with the surroundings
• Barclays Bank closing their branch. Have they no conscience?
• With the building of Goodall Close some very dodgy charachters have joined the community

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.
