The Bay View Shopping Centre could be dissapointing if your expecting a huge, modern Shopping Mall…read morebut it serves a purpose. Whilst its not the biggest and best Shopping Centre it is conveinient especially when its raining as everything is under one roof. The Centre has ample parking facilities, Toilets and a nice central Cafe which serves Snacks and beverages. The Selcetion of shops is fairly good, some of the most popular are Argos, Morrissons, Superdrug, Home Bargains, In Store, Savers and Dorothy Perkins. There are a good selection of discount stores so its ideal for picking up a Bargain. The Major draw is the Free Parking, a two storey car park means your always guarenteed a space and you can leave your cat their whilst you do some further shopping in Colwyn Bay Town Centre, which is only a few minutes walk away.

The Bayview Centre isn't by any stretch the best shopping mall in the world. It isn't all that big…read morebut it does have one thing going for it. There is a large, two storey car park. The nearest town is Llandudno which has a much better selection of shops but is an awful place for traffic and parking. Thanks to the Bayview parking in Colwyn Bay is much easier. The entrance is just off the A55 so you should hopefully avoid any traffic congestion as well. The centre is dominated by a largish Morrison's supermarket. There are also quite a few 'cheap' shops such as Home Bargains, Instore, The Works, Shoe Zone and Savers. Other well known high street names include Bon Marche, Superdrug, Iceland and Argos. There's also an open plan cafe which is a nice place to stop off for a quick cuppa (it's much nicer since the smoking ban came into place). It's not brillant but the car park makes it very convienient. UPDATE Unfortunately in their wisdom they've decided to install barriers on the car park. You can still park for free for two hours upstairs or three hours downstairs but the barriers mean that you are now likely to have to queue to get on and off which can be an annoyance and which has cost them one star! SECOND UPDATE I've decided to review my score for the BayView in light of the recent proliferation of salesmen and chuggers who presumably are permitted to operate there by the owners, no doubt in return for a fee. It's become almost impossible to pop into Morrisons to pick up a loaf without being accosted by energy salesmen and chuggers selling raffle tickets to raise money for our soldiers (although I doubt much of the money gets anywhere near any members of the armed forces). If anyone working for the owners reads this then please can you kick out the salesmen and I might start shopping in Morrisons again.

The New Mersey Shopping Park located in Speke (not far from John Lennon Airport) is a massive…read moreretail park boasting up to 40 upscale stores of different varieties such as Boots, M&S, B&Q and HMV therefore there is a shop to suit everyone. In addition, there are a couple of common places to eat like McDonald's and Pizza Hut, yet I do feel there could be a little more restaurants considering the size of the area. Nevertheless, it makes a great day out because you can easily spend hours browsing each store as you walk around from one end to the other. The retail park has a bright and modern feel to it. No surprise it is so popular with visitors, with a huge car park to accommodate.

CAR STOLEN from here mid December overnight (Friday into Saturday). Contacted the car park…read moreimmediately after informing and registering the theft with police. The car park owners were EXTREMELY SLOW at replying only replying on the following Tuesday. When they did reply they were very helpful in passing the CCTV images to the police, but at this stage the car was long gone. The CCTV isn't monitored and isn't available immediately when needed - what is the point of having CCTV if you are not monitoring it? The CCTV coverage doesn't monitor the whole site effectively. Secondly the patrols conducted by UK Parking Control LTD are not extensive enough, it took the thieves nearly 20 minutes to steal my car, having smashed the window and set the alarm off. If I could give it no stars I would, the owners didn't even offer to refund the cost of the car parking which would have been a decent gesture for something which is a severe economic and emotional loss.

It…read moreis Warrington's main shopping center alongside Cockhedge, which is mainly there just to house an Asda store. As you can tell by its name, Golden Square is basically a large, indoor "Square" of shops, with 135 shops in total according to their website, all over one floor. I dislike the approach of it all being over one floor, being used to seeing shopping centers on multiple floors, which also allows room for more shops, but Warrington's Golden Square also has a few stores in an outside square to it, which is also quite nice including Rhode Island Coffee and a Post Office, which is a nice area. The Shopping Center as I said is quite nice, both inside and out with a good range of shops, including WHSmtih, EE, Starbucks CEX, JD, 3, Waterstones and Vision Express, just to name a few. Due to the shape of the mall, it is quite easy to navigate around. This mall is quite nice for a small town and although it isn't somewhere I'd recommenced you constantly go out of your way to go here, it is well worth a look in if you are in the area as it is a nice shopping center, with a good range of shops and is great for a small town like Warrington, hence a solid 3 star rating.

Its all under cover so the potential bad English weather won't be a factor. According to their web site, there are 135 stores inside. I went recently a few days before Christmas and it wasn't too busy - nothing like shopping centres like Arndale Centre or Trafford Centre (actually never normally go to Trafford Centre but especially near Christmas but I think I can safely say its crazy busy!) Didn't stay too long but went to Boots and also went to Debenhams for some food - which was actually pretty good. There is multi storey car parking but unfortunately it is not free. For under an hour, its £1. It goes up to £5.50 if you are more than 4 hours. Between 2-4 hours is £2.20 which is not too bad I guess.

I was told by the Aloft hotel to park in Vernon St car park…read more I was there 27 hours and was charged 42 Pounds. There is a huge sign on the building that reads "HOTEL PARKING 10 Pounds". Then I am informed that I should have parked in the NCP car park next door. I contacted Q Park and they were extremely rude and did not offer me any type of refund or credit. I would NEVER use this company again and I strongly advise anybody thinking of using them to find a different company.

Q-Park Liverpool ONE is the largest car park in the city centre, built into the Liverpool One…read morecomplex, it acts as a good spot to park for most of the city's attractions, with 1900 spaces. The Car Park is underground, located beneath Chavasse Park, which means the space is HUGE, so can be difficult to navigate, find your car and then get out. Also, the odds are you probably won't be able to get a phone signal in the car park, which was the case for me and my guests, using different mobile phone networks. The parking rates are VERY high, you're paying a premium for secure 24/7 indoor parking, with so many sketchy and dangerous places to park in the city, where I have previously had my car vandalised, I felt a lot better parking here, but still, with rates starting at £2.90 for 1 hour, and going up to £15.50 for 5 hours, £18.50 for 6 hours, it seems a little high especially as £15.50 for 5 hours works out at £3.10 per hour, so you're actually paying more per hour to park for 5 hours. The parking area is actually quite easy on the eye, it has a slick and modern feel to it. There are plenty of lifts to get up to the shopping centre in minutes PRO TIP: There are multiple sets of lifts/entrances, so do take note of where your car is to avoid getting lost. I did suffer an injury in the car park, tripping over a small metal bolt which was built into the ground, I managed to stop myself from falling, but this did seem very dangerous and like an accident waiting to happen. I did report this to Q-Park, who took a while to respond and investigate with their solution being "We couldn't find anything", despite sending them clear photos. 3* - If you're looking for a rare secure place to park in Liverpool with the added bonus of being right in the shopping centre, and a good location overall, and don't mind paying a premium for such luxury, then this is the car park for you.

So many castles in Wales, hard to choose a favorite, as if that's even applicable. Of the six I…read morevisited along the Northern Welsh coast the one thing that stands out for me at Criccieth Castle is the fact that is hasn't undergone full restoration yet (as of this date); yet seems just as intriguing as other structures that have undergone resto. The view of the ocean is magnificent as are the walks along the beach, small shops and *eateries that quietly survive well just adjacent (*see review for the chip shop just down the lane). In brief, Cricceith Castle has some interesting historic installments, but it isn't going to be that dramatic reenactment experience with banners, drums and pomp; rather it's worth the visit in light of their natural absence and parking isn't a hassle either.

Unlike many of the castles of North Wales the one in Criccieth wasn't built, initially at least, by…read moreEdward I but it's instead believed to have been built by Llewelyn The Great in the early 13th century. Edward captured the castle in the late 13th century and added to it and these days it's not really known for certain which of bits that remain are Welsh and which are English. To be honest there isn't a great deal to see here, unlike the castles at Caernarfon and Conwy there's not all that much left to explore. You can't for example climb any towers. However this is reflected to some extent in the reasonable admission prices and in any case we should all make time to celebrate our heritage so it's a must visit if you're in Criccieth. What you also get is some of the most spectacular views you could imagine. The castle is perched on a headland from which you can see pretty all the coastline of West Wales right the way down to Pembrokeshire. Make sure you visit on a sunny day to make the most of the views. As an added bonus the building at the entrance also has a display about the life and times of Gerald of Wales (look him up on Wikipedia!).

I came to this car park while in Liverpool today following good reviews about it being in the city…read morecentre and it being a safe, cheap place to park. I found it to be the opposite. Yes, it is really cheap to park at £3 a day, this has gone up from £2.50, but you still can't argue with the price. The worker who was on the car park, took my money and guided me where to park, he seemed nice and was in and out the car park. One of the main reasons of me parking here was a comment in another Yelp review, which mentioned it should be safe enough to park in the day time, but when I got to my car at around half 5, I noticed one of my wheel trims was missing. I don't know who will be responcible, I find it hard to believe the guy who was on and monitoring the sight would let someone do that to a car if he seen us, but I think he was going in and out of the car park. He still should of noticed and stopped the person who was to steal them. I don't want to blame him for doing it however I do feel he shares responcibility for being so careless to let this happen or doing it himself. The car park is quite small but still fits quite a few cars, I would expect based on the money they raise, they would make it look alot better, it wasn't flat and as smooth as other car parks, with no disabled parking and no lines seperating space to space, but still for £3 all day until closure at 6pm, I can't really moan about that. Still considering something was stolen from my car, I have to give a single one star review, it isn't in the best of locations, it is close to a Starbucks, Papa Johns and hospital, even a Lidl but it is still just over a mile away from the city centre and Liverpool One, which can make you feel exhausted, before you have even made it to the shopping centre and started shopping. I just wish, i'd of gone to a more expensive, more secure car park, even if it was in the city centre and alot less of a walk to the likes of a Liverpool One, I wouldn't have to splash out on a single wheel trim or walk over a mile and then feel exhausted before making it into the city centre.
