• look, i know there isn't a lot to do around here, but can you all stop sKating down Allen Road by the Wills Road Dillons before I squash one of you? It's just not safe, and someone's going to get killed soon- and I don't want it to be my bumper.
• Splash carpark..... there's no official skate park it's just where they hang out.
• Pub ramp's long gone: it was split in half and then both halves were vandalised. There is a quarter pipe 3' high, and a 2' deep (no trans) ex boating pool. A pool allocated to skaters by the council. Shouldn't be too hard to track down, but is it a paddling pool, swimming pool, transitioned or what say the Buck House fountain skaters? Also various street spots.

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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