The Knowhere Guide

Best and Worst in Leominster, Herefordshire*

Leominster, Herefordshire Triumphs and Tragedies

Favourite Building

• The Old Merchant's House - Corn Square
• The Priory Church. Was once a monastry pre-reformation. Still a very impressive structure.
• THE OLD MERCHANTS HOUSE
• Has got to be the swimming pool. So popular is this pool that people from as far out as Bromyard and beyond can be found in it. However, this is not a true favorite attraction for the Bromyard people, they just have no other option apart from using the City pool.
• The old Cinema now Bingo hall
• Nearly every building is totally twee and quaint

Demolish It Now Building

• The head of the Sixth Form's office...wanker.
• Preedys
• Some of the local residential areas are a bit dated but the buildings around Leominster serve their purpose
• PREEDYS NEWSAGENTS NEEDS KNOCKING DOWN AND STARTING AGAIN
• The whole place

The Best Things

• It's all great
• If you are looking for a nice town with developing oppurtunities Leominster is a good choice. There is also lovely countryside and places to visit. National Trust properties and interesting but underused museam.
• EVERYTHINGS GETTING BETTER NOW THAT A NEW TOWN CENTRE MANAGER HAS BEEN APPOINTED AND I S DOING HER VERY BEST TO GET LEOMINSTER PUT BACK ON THE MAP FOR A GOOD REASONS NOT BAD ONES!
• The little coffee shop Emporium (I think that's the name)
• The A49 in either direction leaving
• tons of antique shops.

The Worst Things

• THE WORST THING ABOUT LEOMINSTER WOULD HAVE TO BE THE GLORIOUS SKYMARK, WHAT A DINGEY HOLE THAT PLACE IS- KEEP WELL OUT THE WAY MATE!
• People who moan and never make an effort to improve things
• i still come 'home' on the holidays
• The attitude of people in Leominster has for a long time been increasingly negative but none of the critical people are willing to do anything about it. There is alot to be done so hopefully people will become a bit more active. There is a habit in some of the youth of Leominster (10-30 years included) to linger around during the day and night. This can be intimidating but really they mean no harm.
• THE KIDS WHO ARE TRYING TO STOP HER
• oh theres a big drug problem
• Teenagers who can't think of anything better to do than hang around getting into trouble. Seasonal Gypsy trouble. Car damage with overnight parking

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.
