• i went to buds last nyt and it was not great but i didnt no any1 there so i dont really no but calne reck on an 18th birthday party is quality .   
• Libary, full of skateboarders... thats ok..but the wasters gettin stoned every night is just annoying   
• Don't forget the blessed library where the random head is!   
• The libary with the skateboarders fit girls smokers pissheads and stoners   
• Definatley smokers corner in st marys, the alley which goes from unwins to the car shop place(im sure many people have spotted calne girls going there between lessons for a fag). oh ofcourse the sixth form car park.   
• Down by the pigs!! FUN OR WOT!! If you get really bored you can always hurl abuse at people, spit on the floor or do some vandalism!   
• By the skips outside Kwik Save! Mmmm Classy place!!   
• Anywhere away from St Mary's wanky school. I wish u sad little bitches would stop littering this site with your shite. you know nothing about it so why dont you go back to mummy and daddy's country house in hampshire and shag your pony!   
• Castle Park, by the canal. Many a 15 year-old drunken night spent freezing there..   
• Outside Sainsburys loads of rough white trainer wearing teenagers thinking they are "hard".   
• The newest hook up spot is outside St. MARYS'S SCH, by the old boarding house St. Celias, which is on the road side, where the narrow gap is, just before or after the pigs! Its where you'll find the girls banging on the windows for attention, and also a few phone numbers may just come out of the window, if your lucky... boys only please.   
• Outside N44 at North Wing.... Oh how our beloved art block was destroyed by some old battle axe who calls herself a head teacher.... Thanx love for taking away our memories of the good old days   
• The pigs and outside sainsburys.   
• Spring lane was our era. I take it the person who said it was so last year is only about 12. GET BACK TO SCHOOL!   
• Spring Lane is so last year man, get with it!   
• sainsburys   
• Spring Lane, Bentley Woods, Castle Walk, Gateways carpark, The rec, The pigs in Phelps Parade to name but a few! there's nothing to do in Calne so this is hardly surprising!   
• The Chalky Horse diner - situatued on the way to the White Horse in Cherhill. This place is blinding! The grub is greasy, just what you need after a night on the beer, vodka, gin, cider - any bloody alcohol you can consume. Made a pact to meet up with my bro every Saturday morning but never made it for some strange reason. You can even call them in advance and order your tucker, ready for when you get there!. No I'm not the owner, just someone who has frequented the place. Let's make more use of something that is good before it disappears!   
• Try smokers corner in the grounds of St. Mary's School, for some fun   
• outside the landsdown , good on a friday ,shame the rejections bus has been cancelled though!   
• everyone knows that the youth of Calne hangs out by sitting on the pigs. (this is a bronze sculpture in the town centre to commemorate the town's links with the bacon business. Sainsburys store has been open for a couple of years now, since early 1998 I think   
• From the amount of noise, and terrible parking, it would seem that the lane at the back of my house is very popular with young blokes with clapped out Metro's or badly customised vans.   
• The Brass Pigs seem to attract a good amount of under-age waster types that have nothing else to do in such a lousy place. Otherwise, the bridge over the river (!!) at Somerfield's seems to be where others hangout, especially interesting because they can throw stray supermaket trollies into the river.   
• By the pigs where people gather to mourn the death of the town, killed by small minded people, and where they take out their frustration by breaking the windows in Phelp's Parade. I don't know why an emergency glazier hasn't started up in the town, there must be millions to be made.   

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.
