Trago Mills Near Liskeard, Cornwall



There were a couple of household items we wanted so we headed off to Trago Mills which is alongside the River Fowey in Glyn Valley, near Liskeard. It's known for it's value for money.


As you will see from my photos, this isn't the standard shopping centre - take the appearance of Trago, for example, it's more like some 'olde worlde' castle.

We had a mooch along the river and around the outside building before our shopping.


An old water wheel, not turning but still interesting.




Lots of quirkiness about! Below, under the clock, you'll see a picture of Sir Winston Churchill doing his V for victory gesture. 

Trago Mills was one of the first to promote the idea of the UK leaving the European Union - Brexit in other words.


A few ducks about ...


Plus a few strange gentlemen affixed to the walls.


We found some fungi clinging to a tree alongside the river. 




Wandering by the water, beware though ...


... you never know what you might find!


Also statues dedicated to H.M. Inland Revenue!


All was well with the chickens roaming the main car park. Some were having a snooze in the chilly sun.


All of this before we actually went into the store for the items we wanted. 

Felt quite safe inside Trago Mills, regarding the coronavirus. So much so we decided to have a meal in their restaurant - which was well organised. Covid-19 rules were followed.
