I got there just after 9 O'clock so it was very quiet, just as I like it. The car park had plenty of spaces, and most of the shops were open, thankfully Card Warehouse because that's the one I needed. The cleaner was mopping the floor by the entrance/exit, so naturally no-one took any notice to avoid the bit she …

This is a large outlet area which sadly is so large many people miss half of it. A few shops have closed but there is a good variety of shops still open. My favourite is M&S which has a great selection of mens/womens and childrens clothes. Also stocks towels/flannels. Plus other items. Plenty of places to eat.

Great value with so much to see & do. Annual pass is around £36 allowing as much access as you like. Site covers 81 acres & offers something for everyone.
