Flaunting a setting which makes every literature lover’s heart flutter, the United Kingdom is a honeypot of idyllic tourist attractions. Right from the southern heritage city of Bath to the northern tips of Scotland, the prized attractions of UK have time and again made it to the bucket-list of couples from around the world. But did you know, that the northern part of this lovely country scores a notch higher when it comes to couple indulgences?
Here are a few of UK’s best romantic experiences to indulge in and set absolute #CoupleGoals.
Who can say no to visiting the iconic Chatsworth House in Derbyshire — the famous Darcy residence and the setting of one of the greatest romances ever!
While Derbyshire is blessed with many such postcard-worthy stately accommodations set amidst England’s lavish natural vistas, make your way to the Chatsworth House and weave your own Austen tale here. Later, sample some of the region’s locally produced wines, stroll down Cromford Canal and hop over to the windswept cliffs of Stanage Edge for an out-of-the-world sunset view.
Imagine postcard-perfect landscapes coming alive and the gentle murmurs of a river flowing by! That is Lake District for you. Having made the likes of Austen fall in love with its picturesque environs, the Lake District is a gem of a getaway in the northern part of the United Kingdom.
Walk arm-in-arm on the banks of Lake Ullswater, glide down Lake Windermere on a romantic cruise, experience the joy of navigating your way across the Lake District National Park on a bicycle, host a lovely picnic amidst the cacophony of birds and have fun star-gazing at night.
Surprised? Well, don’t be. You can simply hop on a water taxi or plan an elaborate private rendezvous in Manchester — a city replete with history! The beautiful canals reflecting age-old buildings is the perfect place for bonding with your love, while soaking in the signature English charm.
Take a canal tour of the historic city and spot the Neo-gothic style Manchester Town Hall, swing by the home turf of ManU at the Manchester United Football Stadium and visit The John Ryland’s Library.
Nothing beats a mealtime romance! And what can be better than enjoying an extremely private affair with sparkling champagne and gourmet dishes? Make your way to Dining 135 at the London Eye for a dining experience like no other.
Enjoy the Champagne Reception at the Eye Lounge, relish a three-course lavish spread with ample wine sips and take in panoramic London. Oh! They also offer photo-ops to capture this moment for life!
Did you know there lies the Magical Beatles Museum in Liverpool, dedicated to the iconic British band? Imagine serenading her with ‘Treasure these few words till we’re together…Keep all my love forever…P.S. I love you’ amidst Ringo’s drum, Harrison’s guitar and McCartney’s bass amp. Sounds musically romantic, right?
You can do all this and much more here. Sift through a plethora of Beatles articles, read well-preserved manuscripts, admire the history behind displayed memorabilia and iconic pictures, and have fun immersing in the Beatlemania.
Giant’s Causeway is a region of naturally formed basalt columns in Northern Ireland, overlooking the vast blue. This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers beautiful naturally formed sculptures like The Giant’s Foot and The Chimney Stacks, which make for stunning backdrops.
Explore the rich flora and fauna of the region with your better half, navigate the landscape hand-in-hand and walk over to the very edge of the sea and scream out your love for one another.
A kiss with a view! Doesn’t that sound like a Yash Chopra touch to your romantic chronicles?
Arthur’s Seat overlooks the historic city of Edinburgh and affords lovely views of the famous Edinburgh Castle. Take a scenic hike up the hilltop, capture glorious views of the cityscape and surprise your significant other with an idyllic kiss. Oh! And you can also explore the legend of King Arthur for an immersive experience here.
A fairy tale town with Victorian-era spas, boutique shops selling antique pieces and cosy pubs ideal for snuggling together over locally brewed beer, Harrogate is the perfect romantic retreat close to London, York and Leeds in the United Kingdom.
You will love the deep-soaking massages and uplifting rubs at the world-class spas here, enjoy spending time in the arms of nature at the Brimham Rocks, go café-hopping around town and maybe, indulge in another rejuvenating spa session before heading out.
Allured? Plan your next romantic vacay right away.
