• ere ay .. . castle ay ... gaan down under the bridge like. Under the bypass is the skinning up place of choice for most of the local marras. The castle also, if you're sneaking out of school for one at lunchtime. The snooker hall isn't bad, but don't even think about taking food or girls in there, the shrivelled woman behind the bar will glare so much the felt on the table will catch fire. And don't smoke over the tables.

• outside the old hall, benches by the co-op, and who could forget the castle with the legendary bottles of cider! how sad we all were!
• THE AULD BENGSTICLES LIKE, NAY BOVER!!!!!!
• The Old hall 'doorway' was a familiar hang-out for me and my mates in the winter of 93/94, and during the summer we'd move over the road to sit on the 'benches' and play football in the Co-op carpark.
• The castle! Come on crew of 1995 -1996 you remember the good old days with a bottle of electric white!
• if you want any tack go to forbouys on the mainstreet egremont and ask for dick.
• Egremont Castle, The Centre Disco, Outside N.S.S.,The swings at the top of Orgill. Down the beck near the wear, Uldale bottom !
• Outside Wyndham school or in the Castle ground most evenings.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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