• My wife are Americans. We visited Pensilva because my Great Grandmother once lived there. We went to the Victoria Inn and found the atmosphere to be wonderful. I got a lesson in hand-drawn ales from one of the locals. He said to avoid that "fizzy American stuff." We found the people to be very pleasant. They had a small town charm, and they were very friendly. Cheers
• The Millenium Centre bar is no longer a club but licence has been changed to a pub. This means the beer has gone up and there is still no oak panelling. Still cheaper than your average pub though.
• The Vic is the only one in the village, currently in the hand of George and Cleo. It's changed hands so much I get dizzy. The old haunts have lost it.
• Best time to visit the Bar in Milleneum house is Happy hour!!! Cheap beer

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If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update!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