I have in the past travelled out of the town where I live to other places in England to do shopping. 

I live in a small town where we don't tend to have a great range of stores at the moment and other places in England tend to have more in their malls and shopping centres than we do so it always made sense to travel if I could and go to these places instead of putting up with what we have here. 

I usually do that when it comes to Christmas and I am looking for gifts.
