Romantic North Devon: Highlights for Valentine’s Day and beyond
With an idyllic sense of seclusion and stacks of “secret” corners to explore, it’s little surprise that north Devon is such a popular choice for a Valentine’s Day getaway. Those who enjoy culture and shopping love the pretty towns, arts and crafts; but it’s equally tempting to escape into some of Britain’s most wild and inviting countryside too.
Where is the ideal place for lovers in Devon? This sort of question can virtually spark war between rival tourist boards- but here are a few destinations we think are just perfect for couples and romantic days out in Devon:
An artistic view for two: RHS Rosemoor Garden, Great Torrington (EX38 8PH) 11miles/ 20mins from us
Besides the lure of pristine winter gardens to explore, guests will discover a whole trail of creativity with the Winter Sculpture Exhibition that runs from the present to 22nd February. Free guided walks are another feature, although for a perfect romantic trip out for two we would suggest a quiet weekday excursion to explore at your leisure. This is also a good spot to take your significant other out for a spot of tasty, homemade fare with the new Rosemoor Garden Kitchen opening on Valentine’s Day itself.
