An open-air shopping arcade which used to be known as Greyfriars, this has several worthwhile shops…read moreto browse. I have often bought things in the Edinburgh Woollen Mill here, The Works, Holland and Barrett and Thorntons and yesterday was no exception! Other shops include Poundland, TX Maxx, Card Factory, Store Twenty One, F. Hinds and Claire's. I couldn't find the wooden statue of Merlin yesterday which is supposed to stand here perhaps it has been removed for renovation or repair. Merlin's Walk is situated next to the bus station and there's a large car park at the Argos end too. Opening times: Mon-Sat: 9am 5.30pm Sundays: 10am 4pm (Late night shopping at Christmas)

My first ever visit to Carmarthen was in November 2011, the weather was not great but liked to look…read moreof the area and town centre but very sad to see so many shops empty and to let or for sale, clearly a sign of the times. At night the town is deserted, but comes to life in the day with market stalls and a great selection of small independent shops. A great effort had been made with the festive decorations, and every street was festooned with twinkling lights, lovely Christmas trees dotted around the town making it look so magical. Sadly that is where it ended, as I was followed around the shopping area by a security man who seemed to be on every corner looking at us, eventually after hours of being followed I was approached and asked what I was doing, apparently you are NOT PERMITTED to take photographs in this town. I asked where the sign was saying this was the case; I was taken and shown a sign high up a lamppost (which even when shown the sign I could not see the no camera rule) but with a logo the size of a postage stamp it did say cameras not allowed. What a way to treat visitors! I will never return to this town and in a climate where shops are closing weekly due to recession it seems a very sad way to treat visitors, I got in my car a left the town. I feel the residents and business owners need to address this problem if you wish to attract visitors to Wales

I've been meaning to visit this new shopping centre for months and I finally got there this week. I…read morehonestly don't understand what all the fuss has been about because, basically, it just consists of Debenhams, a cinema and some fast food outlets. I had expected a lot more from a £74m project - it's not even undercover! There's a 950 space car park at the back and it's also very close to the town centre, so easy to find if on foot.
