6 ROMANTIC
UK Weekend Breaks This is the perfect time of year to start thinking about a romantic weekend break, whether it is special for Valentine’s Day or is an early Spring treat.
EDINBURGH
Edinburgh is a beautiful city to explore. Check in to a cosy hotel and enjoy a tea and cake river cruise where you can relax taking in the views. Have a date night at the theatre and catch a show at the Edinburgh Playhouse or go stargazing at The Royal Observatory and enjoy the romance of looking at the winter skies. Explore the streets hand in hand and shop for something special or follow in the footsteps of Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze at The Ceramic Experience where you can create your own piece of romantic art. Take a trip to the Gin Distillery if you‘d like to learn a little more or hold each other tight on a City of the Dead Ghost Tour.
BRIGHTON
This eclectic coastal town is the perfect spot to watch sunrises and sunsets together. A bracing beach walk followed by a picnic or lunch at one of the fine restaurants is perfect. Go for a private wine tasting at Ten Green Bottles or learn to salsa and lindy hop and dance the afternoon away. If you are feeling adventurous you could charter a boat out of Brighton Marina, or have lunch in one of the lovely restaurants there. Book a box at the Theatre Royal or indulge in a little chocolate heaven at Choccywoccydoodah’s. If you are celebrating why not book a VIP capsule on the Brighton Wheel, imagine sipping champagne as you take in the stunning views of the sea and the downs. Walk ‘The Lanes’ and indulge in a little retail therapy or stop for a naughty afternoon cocktail.

BATH
Thanks to its beautiful Georgian architecture, Bath is a renowned romantic city offering everything from great outdoor activities to fabulous spa experiences. The Roman Baths are Britain’s only naturally warm, mineral rich waters and from here you can relax in an open-air rooftop pool with spectacular views over the city. If you are feeling a little more active head to Prior Park where you’ll find serene woodland walks and a great photo opportunity at the famous Palladian Bridge.
