Just out of the centre of Wadebridge is J Shoes, a large store with a wide variety of top quality…read morebrands. The large glass front of the shop tempts you in with both the quality of the shoes on offer, as well as some notable reductions too. Inside the variety is almost bewildering, famous brands like Converse, Dr Marten, Moshulu, amongst many others. Sandals predominate the window displays due to the rash of hot weather, but boots, wellies and shoes are all catered for in the rest of this expansive store. A great store, with attentive staff and some good savings to be had.

I can't honestly see this as an attraction per se, but it does have some beautiful plants if you're…read moreafter something a bit unusual and its much more peaceful than your traditional garden centre. The prices are reasonable for the products, and the service friendly. Google map the directions if you don't know where you're going because as someone who's lived in this area for 25 years, I had no idea where it was before stumbling across it. The village location is beautiful too - set on a river in a small stonework fronted village complete with quaint church - after you're done shopping pop across to the tea gardens and have a delicious cream tea!

My jute bags just arrived, thanks to Johnathan with DHL Delivery…read more I shop Seasalt online because they are on the other side of the world from me. I discovered them through The House of Bruar because they carry some of the Seasalt brand. I picked these jute bags because they are adorable! They carry a lot of weight, they're roomy, have a strong handle and is smooth on the hand; not scratchy. And they're adorable because of the sea coast themes. When I opened the bag, ooooh, I could smell the jute fibers,....awesome! That made my morning!! Some of these bags were as low as just £2!! So that covers the increased USD/GBP conversion. Shipping is pretty standard at about $15 overseas. They offer great clothes, and I especially love their rain coats and rain boots. They have an awesome seafare feel to them.

I discovered Seasalt in Cornwall and really liked it…read more These are clothes, usually organic or sustainable materials and made by a Cornish company - though when I was in they said that they are starting to be stocked in some John Lewis concessions. The clothes are beautiful - more classic than high fashion but perfect for the surfing, chilled out casualness of Cornwall. Pretty dresses, tops and jackets, etc and also men's stuff too. The sale was also on when I was in (first week in Sept). Not cheap - prices probably around the same as White Stuff or Fat Face and similar types of clothing (though not as many weird designs as the other two at times). Well worth a visit and I'm planning to return having cleaned out my wardrobe and my bank account in preparation!

They have somewhat of a monopoly at the moment around here. I daresay that will all change when…read moreTesco opens up. Fair selection of food and the occasional bargains which, it has to be said, are good when you can get them. they have just had a bit of a makeover (presumably so they don't look so shoddy against the shiny new Tesco) and it does look very nice in there now. They have retained the cafe, deli and hot food counters as well.

Trelawney is one of my favourite garden centres. I often visit during the lead up to Christmas,…read morewhen they have a large area of the shop for Christmas decorations. It is quite sight seeing so many decorations and I always feel Christmassy after visiting. It does get quite busy especially shortly before Christmas, so it can be difficult to get to all of the decorations as it can be quite crowded. They also have a wide selection of plants and flowers as you would expect, and generally these are quite average prices. I would recommend a visit, but not on a weekend before Christmas as it is so busy, go during the week instead.

If you are a fan of Rick Stein, then you will like this shop. This shop is located right next to…read moreRick Stein's Cafe, so it's very convenient to just walk around browsing stuff after you are done eating next door. Well, at least that was what I and my friend did anyway. The shop has so many merchandises both related and not related to Rick Stein. Very cute shop overall.
