Making the most of your romantic break

Much of Wiltshire has been designated an Area of Outstanding Beauty, as is Dorset, which in addition to beautiful inland countryside, boasts the spectacular and romantic Jurassic coastline.

Somerset competes with the heathered wide open spaces of Exmoor. Here among the thatched villages, country houses and sensual gardens, it's easy to drop a gear or two and make time for romance.

Not to be outdone, Devon and Cornwall boast two beautiful coastlines for lovers to explore. You'll soon feel relaxed and rejuvenated as you walk together along the coastal cliff paths and golden beaches. Explore the fishing villages and hideway to watch the crashing surf in secluded coves.

Throughout this inspiring landscape there are man-made wonders to explore, like the magnificent cathedrals of Salisbury, Wells, Truro and Exeter. The region is also home to arguably Britains's most romantic city - the romantic film set that is Georgian Bath.
