The Knowhere Guide is a crowd-sourced online guide to English towns. It was originally a guide to the skate boarding scene in the UK and was founded in 1994. It is quoted by British guide books, such as Rough Guides, as a recommended source of online information. The guide includes a fictional town known as "Chuffing Hell", which has been mistaken as a real town by commercial web based directories.
The site's comments about the town of Crawley were seen to be so negative that the then MP, Laura Moffatt said that, "we should have the ability to take things down. It has also been blamed for encouraging illegal skateboarding in Halesowen.
