• I was brought up in Tunbridge Wells, and went to Skinners School for 5 years. Ever since I left the town, I've appreciated it more and more, and now I'd quite like to live there! At the time, being an angst-ridden teenager, it was not a wonderfully exciting place ( we're talking 63 - 68 ). I liked the town library, and I remember many local roads where I learnt to drive. There are generally some excellent surrounding areas of countryside, for walking and cycling. However, like much of England, suburban retail parks ( the North Farm Industrial Estate ) and urban lookalikes ( the new shopping centere ( Victoria ? which makes TW look like any other town centre in Southern England ) have encroached. In my youth, as an impoverished student, I swept the roads and cut the grass verges for the council. Any others with similar memoreies ( pay was 25p per hour).

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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