Taking a holiday in Poole will always be a fun and exciting one. With so much to see and do, you will struggle to fit it all into one break. Trying to fit everything into one holiday will be an exhausting effort, so throughout your holiday, try and fit in one day of retail therapy.
Shopping in Poole is broken down into three main areas, each with their own individual and unique characteristics.
Dolphin Shopping Centre: Poole is home to the Dolphin Shopping Centre, the largest indoor shopping centre in the whole of Dorset. With well over 100 individual stores, there really is something for one in the Dolphin Shopping Centre. Whether it's clothing at Next or La Senza, food at the Cornish Bakehouse or Thornton's or bit of music from the HMV; you'll find just what you're looking for in the Dolphin Shopping Centre.
Easily accessible by car with masses of affordable local car parking, public transport is extremely reliable around the centre of Poole and both buses and taxi's are a cheap and handy way of getting to and from the Dolphin Shopping Centre.
High Street and Old Town: The main shopping area in town is definitely the Dolphin Shopping Centre. However, a trip into the Old Town with a look on the High Street is definitely worth an hour or two. The High Street is packed full of fantastic brand name shops that are recognised up and down the UK: perfect for the inner shopper in you. However, take a look in the Old Town and you'll be loaded with masses of individual boutiques. From clothing to candles and books to boomerangs, each little store has it's own feel, meaning that before you know it, a whole afternoon has passed and it's time go home!
Markets: The markets in Poole are well respected and revered by all the local residents. Taking place in Falkland Square and on part of the High Street, each Thursday plays host to a great farmers market where local produce can be sampled. Cheese made with solely local ingredients and the finest cuts of beef can be bought and taken home for the perfect meals and evening snacks.
After a day out shopping in Poole, a well deserved rest is often the first port of call for most. With so many accommodation types available in and around Poole, it can often be somewhat confusing and frustrating trying to decide upon the right one. When looking for the right accommodation, have a look at Rockley Park. It's chosen by many families visiting Poole for a variety of reasons: it's close to one of the many award winning beaches; it's packed full of amenities on site and yet it's quite and idyllic for those relaxing moments - something for all the family in an ideal location. Perfect.
Shopping in Poole is a great way to take the unnecessary stress out of any holiday. Give the family their own spending money and watch them enjoy buying a variety of both popular and quirky items available in Poole, whilst you indulge a little well deserved something yourself. |
