It is the perfect place to go for an affordable gift for someone who is a little under the weather or for a natural remedy for life's little aches and pains. They even sell organic fruit and veg at a very reasonable price (a lot of items are cheaper here than in the supermarkets) So for a bit of friendly chat at advice, I can't recommend a better place.

Additionally they also have a nice little range of veggie foods too which is an added bonus especially as the food isnt the typical veggie foods you normally expect to find.

They sell a myriad of supplements, from multi vitamins and herbal remedies, to dried fruit and nuts, healthy drinks and bulking protein supplements for gym lovers! Although this shop is a little pricey and you can probably find a lot of their shop cheaper online, it is very conveniently located in the centre of town, and sometimes has some great 2 for 1 offers on all supplements and multivitamins. They are very helpful inside the shop and they know their products inside out. I would fully recommend this shop for all the alternative remedies that they sell and for the expert advice that they offer to all their customers! It's definitely worth popping in just to get some multivitamins and Echinacea to ward off the colds and flu that float around the city!

The shop is situated on Lord St and is a small and well stocked store, a very interesting place to visit, quaint. The shop sells a variety of supplements, Vegan and Vegetarian products, herbal teas, organic products, food stuffs and gluten free products, skincare, hair care to name a few. It is an interesting place to browse as there are so many products on display and prices are reasonable too, and there is sometimes a clearance section that is well worth a look. There are car parks located around the town, these are pay and display, or if you only want to pop in to Natures store you can park on Lord st for a limited time only, or on Railway rd for a limited time only, in the allocated areas. Natures Store is well worth a visit, it is a friendly, family run business and Highly recommended by me. Update 10th May 2010 I feel the need to add to this review, having visited the Natures Store today. I went with particular items in mind and some knowledgeable and trustworthy advice. The items that I wanted were there and I was told when more stock would be available if there was something that they didn't have at that time, also as luck would have it they had liquorice tea which I have not been able to get for some time and they had some items on offer and in clearance (boxes may be damaged but product absolutely fine) that I purchased. Then I asked for advice regarding Vegan Omega 3,6,9 requirements and was given good, unbiased advice based on latest research and shown the product that they stocked. It was like being in an aladins cave, I was delighted with my purchases and the advice given. I can very highly recommend this store and hope that people shop there to support our fantastic local health store.
