The Bickley Mill, Newton Abbot

Trago Mills, not a success story?

Advantages: See text.
Disadvantages: See text.

This review is on Trago Mills, a family themem park with shopping centre based in Devon just outside a town called Newton Abbot. This site is one out of three Trago Mills sites, the other two being in Cornwall (one at Liskeard theh other at Falmouth). In order to find this particular one, you will find it on the A38 between Plymouth and Exeter. Or rather, closer to Exeter but still on that exact same road! Look for sings to Newton Abbot, although just to confuse you all more which I know you like - there are in fact two junctions for this town. If coming from Exeter way, then it will be the first turning - of course, from Plymouth it will be the second. But never fear, as Trago is well signposted from both ways. On entering the site, there is plenty of car parking. But as this is a popular place to come to, then no doubt it will ...

Review of Trago Mills (Newton Abbot)

Trago Mills between Newton Abbott and Bovey Tracy

Advantages: Good value on many goods
Disadvantages: Unhelpful staff and some undesirable customers

The previous review to mine gives some good information about Trago Mills near Newton Abbott. Look for Bovey Tracy on the map and it is very close to it. The direction signs are pretty good and there is a lot of available parking. I agree with previous review and it was much better before 'the fire' however it is now a cleaner and brighter place to shop. The Liskeard (dobwalls) is bigger I think and does have more variety but is a long way to go if you're in Devon. The pet food and gardening sections are really good and there are a few little stores just outside the may building. Parking in free and there are places to eat, but the majority is junk food. Plants are really good value in the summer. There are a few rides available for children. You need to buy tokens for each ride. Each time I visit I get the feeling ...

Review of Trago Mills (Newton Abbot)

♫ A great deal happening ♫

Advantages: there is more to do and its closer to the mainland England
Disadvantages: not as well organised as the store at Liskeard

TRAGO MILLS ---------------------- After my review on Trago Mills (Liskeard) I have decided to write about my favourite store of the three (liskeard, Newton Abbot and Falmouth). After the initial debate about whether we wanted a shopping trip down Cornwall or to Exeter and Torquay we could work out which store we really wanted to visit. In case you have not read the 'Trago Mills Liskeard' review I will give a brief introduction to the history of Trago. Trago Mills started out in the 1960's as a small shed in Liskeard, South East Cornwall. The founder Mike Robertson bought a selection of items 'up country' and sold them in this shed. The store was designed to sell cheap, affordable products to the locals of Cornwall. Mike Robertson is a well known supporter and has broken many trading laws in the past by insisting to open on Sundays ...
