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.

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.

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.

There was a lack of signage around the malls, such as a plan, I didn't even realise what floor I was on due to mismatched numbering in the lifts, no "mall staff" around made it a little more difficult. While most of the units were taken up, the same can't be said about the other shopping centres in the town so that's a bonus, the mall just had a bare/empty feel and it felt like there was a lot of blank empty space which could be utilised better. Decent shopping space within Shrewsbury, I do prefer the shops in the town centre and elsewhere, as this only consists of 17% of retail units within the town. 3*

It's easy to get to via car, being just off the M53, however when using public transport it is much more difficult, there is an irregular bus service which takes around 25-30 minutes from Chester Station. The centre is pedestrianised, clean and with a nice design after getting out of the car park. I do think signage around the centre could be improved, It can be hard if you're looking to visit a specific store/restaurant. There's free parking, but this is common with many out of town shopping parks anyway, but still, always a useful thing to note. There is a good number of places to eat and drink including Caffe Rouge, Carluccio's, Mowgli, Pizza Express, Wagamama, YoSushi Places for coffee include the usual suspects (Costa, Starbucks, Pret etc) Many of the shops do have good deals, obviously, not everything is a great deal, but you can get some low-price clearance goods here Brands with locations here include Adidas, Cadbury's, Clarks, Calvin Klein Haribo, Hugo Boss, Jack and Jones, Lacoste, Nike, Next and M&S, just to name a handful. One of the best places to shop in the area, and one of the better outlet centres in the country, they're missing a huge market though with the public transport connections being so weak. Having a better guide around the centre would also be a big help. 4* PRO TIPS: Most of the centre does have shelter to keep you dry on a rainy day, it's a place much better on a summery day, but no need to panic if you need to shop during bad weather. If visiting with kids, McDonald's is a good shout, they even have an outdoor play area right outside, and they'll even bring the food to you there.
