Loads of benches all over the place. 10' vert ramp, wood. 4' mini Ñ also wood and splintery. We encourage visitors. There's also continued talk of the indoor place and things of that nature, making Barnstaple an interesting place from the skate point of view. Pilton Community College. Street spot with small bank which crumbles next to tennis court (crap). Various steps, hand-rails, humps, curbs.
• Me and Chris Smith used to skateboard in the Panier Market in the evenings in the late 70's. Ah, nostalgia... Anyone there in Barnstaple remember me (Simon Powell) or Chris Smith? Email me.
• About four miles outside Barnstaple is the village of Braunton. There is a very good skate spot in Caen Street car park. Course includes a six foot quarter pipe with eight foot transition, a four foot quarter pipe and a box. Braunton also has some of the nicest hills in the South West.
  If you would like to find these good spots, simply visit Mango skate shop in Braunton and ask Darryl or Emma where they are. They will be more than happy to tell you.
