Fordingbridge, Hampshire 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.)

• This should be known as places to avoid or muppets area.
• If you visit Fordingbridge, don't go to the carpark at night. In fact, stay at home completely. Drugged up teenagers hang around setting fire to phone boxes and putting fireworks through people's letterboxes. The police are too scared to do anything, and the council and the headmistress of the local school still won't admit that there is a drug problem here. Some of the locals are kind and think that the kids need something to do in the evenings and they set up clubs to go to, but the kids just vandalise everything. They aren't bored, they're just not very nice.
• Oh Gawd..too many to mention..U got the wine cellar, round the public toilets at roundhill, the rec, outside the chippy, the little parc down by the river ..Townies rule the roost apparently!
• Loads of places...The most popular are the ones behind the chemist on the bencehes but i refuse to call them the popular crowd..they are the rudest group of unsocial miscreants..They are prone to drug taking and getting girls below the age of 15 pregnant!! Also the infamous "Park"..Not to be mistaken for the Rec. The park is just down by Beacon Court. Other places include outside the Fish and Chip shop on the hig hstreet and down by the Wine Cellar
• as uve said the druggies hang in the car park waiting for a local dealer to turn up.townies hang in the park where they can underage drink.otherwise there is shit all places to hang meet with your mates at all.
• Used to be outside the Off Licence The Wine Cellar until "Mandy" the ex postie took over, but she's takes no nonsense and the area is now respectable
• The telephone boxes behind the chemists just outside the carpark is where the 'in' crowd hang out. The Carpark is where the Druggies hang out and the others meet at the Park.

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.
