Penarth, Glamorgan Hookup Spots and Stuff Only Locals Know

Hook-up Spots (That hallowed spot where everyone hangs around with their mates dreaming of the time when they can get into the pubs or clubs - a bench, a corner: you name it.)

• usually i just go down ali park and recently ive started going down gimbers ps skata wiv the goatee, hi!!!
• victoria square, where all the skaters and all the people who arnt townies are, well exept for a couple who just hang round all day with their sad girlfriends, sitting on the steps and smoking, but they arent any hassle.
• the bench in belle vue- oh yeah and the steps by the slide down by the billy banks
• Gimbers is good even if you are old enough to get in to clubs
• ali park
• The bridge on westbourne road near James' house. The cliff tops-A fabulous adventure playground and another, most excellent golf course. A good place to go kite buggying when there aren't too many golfers around.
• ALEXANDRA PARK
• The church yard is a great place to chill in the summer.
• Skaters hang at Gimbers all the time.
• There is a challenging, golf course where a warm welcome awaits visitors. Fabulous views across the Bristol Channel and the birthplace of the world famous Stableford scoring system. A memorial to this effect stands outside the clubhouse. Any golf enthusiast should not miss visiting the club and viewing the extensive display of memorabilia. Croeso i bawb!!

My spot was sitting on the steps of Pegs (The Com)you know used to be a night club on the pier. Now a snooker club but may have gone tits up by now.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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