This is really about the market.it's pretty incedible. Huge!!!…read moreThere are so many stalls (all under cover) that you really can't take it in at one go. Needs several visits. Now my mother brought me up not to be greedy - but markets have an effect on me, especially plant stalls, silver, faric and leather goods. There is every thing from bongs to veggies, bags to embridery threads, arts and crafts, gosh probably a beer stall too. Most of the vendors are very friendly - I always find plant sellers are on my planet! Some are a little indifferent but at least that's not going to ruin the fun. You don't need to leave lots of dosh behind, browsing is fun. And theres a couple of good pubs just nearby!

The Castle Place shopping centre used be quite smikey before the smoking ban, although its now much…read moreimproved. However it seems in recent years the turnover of shops has been quite high with shops often opening and closing and being replaced with other shops quite quickly That said its often interesting to see what shop next fills the gaps. The market contains a wide range of goods and the stall holders are always friendly and can answer my questions. There is a stall selling all types of material, the music one, one selling smoking implements and lots more. I enjoy looking round the music exchange one becaus you never know what to expect!

I found this shopping mall has nearly everything under its roof, the roof lets in alot of daylight,…read morethere are three levels with a food court on the third with Burgerking, Spud-u-LIke, and others. The range of stores here are mostly for clothing with New Look, Next, but also jewellers, music store of HMV but no store to buy an electiric shaver. Conclusion is many top brand stores here with easy access for wheelchairs with elevators from level to level and not many steps. There is a car parking lot that is connected with more elevators however there is a charge for parking at a ticket machine before you leave so beware how long you are staying as the longer there the more will be charged.....crazy Rated a struggling 2 stars as carparking should be free.

I like this shopping centre, it brings the centre of Plymouth into the 21st Century. It is easy to…read moreget to and parking is easy. You pay as you leave which is great as I never have any spare change! All of your usual chain shops can be found here and you can stay dry now whilst you do your shopping. Coffee shops galore, so you won't go thirsty! The downside for me is that House of Fraser and Debenhams remain out of the centre, so despite it all being very convenient to shop inside, you need to have your coat if you are planning to venture to either of these or beyond. Overall a welcome addition to what was a dreary town centre. There are lots of Plymothians who dislike it, but you can't please everybody!

Princesshay Shopping Centre has become home to most of the larger chain stores in Exeter, with a…read morenew Debenhams, large branches of clothes shops like Next, and also Zavvi, dominating over this kind of new high street. Although it is sort of personalityless in the sense that they are all big brand name shops, it's a good place to scout round and do your shopping, and Exeter definitely needed something more upmarket. There are also a large range of restaurants and cafes to take a break out from shopping at.

The 'new' Princesshay shopping centre opened in 2007, replacing a 2 year building site, which had…read morein turn replaced an uninspiring old fashioned group of shops and flats. It has a range of mostly chain shops and restaurants, with a few independents thrown in for good measure. Far more interesting than the shopping is the design and architecture of the centre, which has been done quite sympathetically. The view of the Cathedral as you turn a corner walking through the shops, for example, is breath taking. Princesshay has given Exeter a far more upmarket feel, and shops in other parts of the town have pulled their socks up as a result.

There are several car parks at the village. The village is split into two parts by a road each part has a lot of amazing shop that sell retail items slightly cheaper than other shops. There is a next clearance, monsoon, Gap, lilywhite and of course, the famous Clarks shoe shop. Clarks shoe shop sells many good shoes at heavily reduced prices! The village is a lovely relaxed place to shop there is often a climbing wall and a roundabout to amuse the children. There is a large wooden fort play area, which is also a great place for children to left off steam!

Picnics are fine and might be a better option given the lack of eateries. Apart from Starbucks other options are spuds, donuts, sandwiches and paninies from various street stalls. There is also a Subway and a cafe but these are further away off the village.

Trinity House is a department store in the heart of Axminster, with great customer service and a…read moregood range of different items from duvets to luggage. It has a sizeable clothing department with good quality clothes, with brands like Eastex; I was particularly impressed with the range of men's polo shirts, expensive, but just something a little different. The cookware department of Trinity House has a vast range of items for the kitchen: saucepans, utensils, tea-towels, appliances etc. Arguably the best department in what overall is a great store, a little dated in parts maybe, but a purveyor of quality items nonetheless.

Atlantic Village is a discount shopping centre on the outskirts of Bideford. There are various…read moreshops including Cadburys, Whittards of Chelsea and Pilot. My favourite shop is the bookshop which sells everything from childrens books to cookery books and also stationery items, photo albums etc. There are several things for children including a small indoor soft play area and an outside wooden pirate's ship. Unfortunately you have to pay for this which I think is a shame. There are a couple of places to eat but I find it too expensive and would rather pop over to the nearby Asda. I would say Atlantic Village is somewhere to go on a rainy day if you've run out of things to do. I'm hoping some bigger names will take advantage of the many empty shops available.

The building used to be an old brewery and it is now quite a major tourist attraction in the town, with a number of facilities under one roof. The main tourist draw here is the Timewalk museum attraction and with a touristy family friendly pub right opposite it at the entrance to Brewers Quay, you can imagine that this place gets pretty crowded in the summer season. There are a couple of cafes and a range of interesting shops in the centre selling arty and crafty products. These small independent stores make an interesting visit whether you are a tourist or a local and are an ideal place to buy a slightly different souvenir or interesting gift. Prices are about average for this type of crafty environment. Recommended - but not in the high summer.
