Good retail park, lots of choice, plenty of parking and food options and one of my favourite shops, scan computers is here! (You need to visit if you like tech or music, there's gaming rigs, simulators and lots of instruments here)

First time I had a proper look at this retail park. And I have to say I was a little impressed. All the shops here are the larger version. Not the dinky ones you see at the high street. No, these are the big ones. And I like that. If you're looking for a time to go shopping, I'd say to go here. Also plenty of places to choose from to eat. More than enough parking places too.

A very good variety of shops, plenty of parking (though be mindful that the spaces are quite narrow), cheaper fuel (Asda) and a variety of food oulet mostly fastfood.

Lots of places to shop. Plenty of places it eat with a great selection of restaurants. For those who want to watch a movie there's a 12 screen Vue cinema with luxury seating as standard & a Hollywood bowling alley. Enjoyed my very first 5 guys burger whilst I was there.

A great place to shop, eat and go to the cinema. It also has an arcade which is great. There are lots and lots of shops. A great place for a great day out. The only thing I don't like about this place is the carpark. The spaces are so tight to get out of if you have done front face parking instead of reverse parking.
