Making the most of your romantic break in Somserset
Walk and watch the waterfalls plunge through the trees in rugged ravines as the romantic moorland of Exmoor National Park meets the dramatic coastal cliffs and craggy headlands of the Bristol Channel. Take a picnic of local cheese and cider - but keep well back from the cliff edge after you've sated your thirst.
Stroll hand in hand along the miles on sandy beach at Burnham on Sea. Hunt for the Veasta, a 12 ft seamonster that is half fish and half seahorse at Chesil Beach that has been regulated sighted for 500 years.
Connect with your inner self at Glastonbury, a spiritual centre steeped in legend, romance and folklore. There you'll find the Abbey, said to be the final resting place of King Arthur and the inspiring Tor, rising dramatically from the Somerset Levels on an ancient sacred site. At its foot is Chalice Well, famed for its healing waters, where Joseph of Arimathea hid the Holy Grail - so the legend goes.
Stir your senses at Bennetts Water Gardens and the magnificent collection of water gardens complete with water lilies and a replica 'Monet' bridge.
Ramble around the lake and enjoy the wonderful view over the Vale of Taunton at the sensuous gardens of Westercombe, designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
Real romantics will love Montacute House, one of the country's finest Elizabethan houses. Fine vistas, Cedar Lawns, The Fig Walk and Orangery made it the perfect location for the film of Jane Austen's 'Sense and Sensibility'.
Marvel at Wells Cathedral, and perhaps the oldest complete medieval street in Europe, Vicars' Close as you spend a relaxing afternoon exploring England's smallest city.
Forget Paris. Somerset was made for lovers.
