Cottage in Wales

Sometimes it’s easy to forget  good old Wales. True, there are thousands of romantic locations around the world, but that’s no reason to overlook this lush, green paradise – Wales. Needless to say, renting a cottage amongst the breathtaking hills and valleys of Wales is a lot lighter on the wallet, but that doesn’t mean it’s any less beautiful. The gorgeous landscape is steeped in history and you could spend days wandering around the peaceful countryside. At the end of the day, snuggle down in front of a real log fire and tell him or her how you feel.

Northern Lights, Lapland

What could be more romantic than an all-natural light show? Aurora Borealis or the Northern Lights is a light show that you can only see in the far north or south of the globe. Picture the setting, you’ve gone on a romantic sleigh ride pulled by reindeer or wolves, stopped in a forest clearing and you look up to see a spectrum of ethereal colours dancing in the sky. Now if that isn’t the perfect way to say ‘I love you’ I don’t know what is!

London Eye
