Trago Mills (Newton Abbot)

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 ... more

Trago Mills is a chain of 3 stores located near to Newton Abbot, Liskeard / Bodmin and Falmouth. Newton Abbot and Liskeard / Bodmin stores are both easily located just off the A38 and both have ample parking around the sites.

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 ... more

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 ... more
