Romantic Breaks In Somerset

21 July 2011

Romantic getaways should be enjoyed all year round – don’t just stick to the traditional February weekend, spoil yourself and your partner with a summer break to the seaside or go and explore some historic treasures or stunning scenery.

Holidays in Somerset have lots to offer, and if you want to book a summer break you’ll need to set aside at least a week to fully take in everything that the area has to offer. If you like exploring interesting and historic villages and towns, holidays in Somerset have plenty to keep you busy – Dunster is one of the most popular locations for tourists, and is a medieval village with an ancient castle, a market, a priory, and lots more for you to explore.

When planning romantic holidays in Somerset, look for special spots that you can discover together – stunning natural scenery is always a good option. Ham Hill Country Park covers almost 400 acres and is perfect for long walks with your partner – pack a picnic for the day and aim to get to the higher ground for stunning views. Even if the weather is cooler, you can wrap up in your blanket and enjoy the scenery before heading back down. Kilve Beach is also a great natural wonder to explore together – it is famous for its fossils and has been named a Site of Special Scientific Interest. Why not take a day trip there and see if you can find a few souvenirs to take home with you?

Romantic holidays in Somerset need a cosy base for you to stay in and explore the area from. See if you can find a secluded cottage or cabin, and look for romantic features such as open fires and four poster beds. Alternatively, you can look for upmarket hotels in busier areas of Somerset and spoil yourselves with room service! Before you head off, it is worth researching the different activities, accommodations and options available for romantic holidays in Somerset. See where you would like to stay, and have a look for places of interest nearby that you’d like to see. Look for ways to indulge yourselves – have an afternoon shopping, book some treatments at a relaxing spa, and book yourselves into restaurants for some fine dining during your stay. If you’re both fans of discovering new scenery, then a trip to Somerset wouldn’t be complete without a visit to Cheddar Gorge! This wonder is the UK’s biggest gorge, and you can even try a spot of climbing to work up your appetite. Alternatively, visit a local shop to stock up on the area’s famous cheese, and settle down with a blanket and a picnic to enjoy the stunning scenery.

Doing your research beforehand is essential – to make your trip go smoothly note down some essential information such as local taxi firms and numbers (vital if you want to wine and dine your loved one for an evening!), and if you’re going to be staying in self catering accommodation, check where the local shops are so that you can stock up on treats as soon as you arrive. Romantic and relaxing!
