• Rugby road shops on the bench. The brook.   
• A bench in the Gardens. Under a tree. Ducks always evil (& DIRTY!) squirrels always nice and cheeky.   
• Jephson gardens. Full of teenagers, (mostly Nu Metal skater types,) drinking cider and showing off. It's not so much fun if you're over the age of 20, (because you're past it, and the skater kids will tell you this, repeatedly,) but if you still live in fear of being spotted smoking a fag on the high street by one of your mum's friends and your idea of the perfect guy wears an oversized slipnot hoodie and hasn't learnt to blow his nose yet it's ideal.

• Top park or the bandstand at the bottom.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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