LOCAL ATTRACTIONS - SHOPPING

Shopping in South Devon

PLYMOUTH

The largest shopping centre in the Devon & Cornwall Plymouth has a large pedestrianised area in which its Department Stores and Shops are located. Within this area are many restaurants and close by are the Theatre Royal and Pavilions Entertainment Areas. Of particular note are the small shops in the historic Barbican area where the National Marine Aquarium is based. Movement between the areas can be by foot with well-developed route ways linking the various parts of the city or by the Tourist Open Bus that visits all the major attractions regularly all the year round. Parking is well signposted and the city has a number of Park & Ride Schemes in operation. Open all year.

TOTNES

Principally a small market town with many niche craft & art shops and small restaurants. Its prime position in central south Devon has helped it develop as a centre for antique trading. Open all year.

SALCOMBE

An excellent coastal location the development of Salcombe has a maritime retail focus. Not cheap but certainly a wide range of shopping for those with leisure in mind! Parking is best achieved through the Park & Ride particularly in summer!

DARTMOUTH

Similar to Salcombe but far larger and open all year. Wider range of shops and restaurants but again use the Park & Ride in the summer!
