Backwell, Somerset 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.)

• Blates spar car park wit ma top down and chromes spinning
• There is a pathetically low amount of places to go here. try the youth club 4 those who avent got enuf cash to go sumwher beta. Its a sad day when you have to go to nailsea or Yatton to find sum action.
• There are none... you just end up finding people (always have credit on ur phone) This place is a shit hole and i regret movin here Good ol youth club where Nola the nutter pesters us all to know who the coke dealers are
• Spar bench is one of the best hang out points, just walkup the road and you never know who you will meat but some one is always there - yeh man the spar possy
• well now there is the great new spot.... The skate board ramp, we have been pleading for many years for this great shelter. Not only do we get to play but its sheltered too. what great new technology will they get next!! great for a smoke though!
• the youth club where everyone goes 2 meet up on a monday wednesday and a friday then its off to the bottom of the field 2 drink and smoke but make sure dog walkers dont call the police . Occasionally wen its wet every1 goes 2 the train station or the toilets at the park by the football club or the big bush by the tennis courts
• Backwell lake is a quiet area of backwell favored by dog walkers and people feeding the ducks
• The Backwell Park Roundabout and swings, that's where it's at on those balmy Summer evenings with a cold can of lager and a bifta.
• Ummmm......Backwell Park or the bus stop outside Backwell School while I was there
• The famous wall's outside the Spar shop are notorious as a gathering spot for the bored of Backwell. If they can convince someone to buy them their cheap zummerzet coider! they congregate in one of the two parks near the "Footie Club". The school playing fields are usually busy out of school hours with young-uns that can't wait to leave school but spend their spare time there as-well!!

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.
