Dating in South West England
In shortThe South West is a long peninsula, so a date might mean meeting in a town between you. The coast is never far away, and a walk with a view does a lot of the talking. Pick a short stretch and leave the long days for later.
A first date idea
South West Coast Path
This National Trail runs 630 miles from Minehead in Somerset, through Devon and Cornwall, to Poole Harbour in Dorset, and it is open all year. Parts are steep and some cliff top sections are exposed, so choose an easy stretch near a town and follow the trail signs. A walk to the next cafe along the coast is plenty for a first date.
