Boasting stunning scenery of sandy beaches and dramatic waves or breathtaking hillscapes; there is certainly something romantic about the views you will be rewarded with on your walk together. If you are visiting in the winter months for Valentine’s Day, then be sure to wrap up warm and bring along a flask of tea or hot chocolate to keep you toasty as you explore.

Indulge with a Delicious Meal

Many Cornish restaurants pride themselves on their use of only the best locally sourced ingredients. With produce grown at local farms and boats bringing in fresh catches each day, the Cornish dining scene is incredible. Delicious, seasonal dishes can be enjoyed, with many dining establishments boasting a stunning backdrop of coastal views or cosy village life, helping to add a romantic atmosphere to the meal.

Head to a Unique Spot
