• Don't even think of gathering at the town centre roundabout carpark. THe residents call the police straight away and the nick is just across the road. The best place for teenage drivers is Bardsea beach (Coast road towards Barrow, about 4 miles out of town) or Greenodd Picnic site (A590) about the same distance back towards the lakes. The police are red hot on boy racers and hand out tickets like they are going out of fashion.   
• Young teenage Car drivers gather at 'the roundabout' car park (boy racers and loud ICE). Other 'hot spots' are Boots alleyway and 'the Coronation Hall'-   

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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