welcome to the mountain centre
The Mountain Centre has been selling outdoor clothing and equipment for the last 40 years. Established in 1967 by Fred and Joan Barlow, it quickly became known as one of the most unusual shopping experiences in Britain.
Yes, it’s a shop. Not a very big one either, but you’d be surprised how much stuff you can get in there.
The shop itself has changed a great deal over the last few years – you can actually look around it now – but it is still fairly quirky, and definitely more interesting than over-commercialised outdoor chain-stores.
One thing that has remained is the quality of the service, and the time to spend with customers. We have a wide range of clothing, an extensive boot range, camping gear, compasses and lots of odds and sods that you won’t find anywhere else. If we don’t have it then we’ll do our best to get it. We are independent, so we can do what we like. Meet the team:
- Anne – the boss. Wild horses dragged her here, and now she can’t get away.
- Barney – hairy meet and greeter.
- Georgie – Works weekends and holidays, when she’s not busy studying. Has a close working relationship with Henry!.
- Henry – does the hoovering
and we hope you like our shiny new web site.
