Adrenalin Quarry
For those couples craving a bit of a thrill, this former quarry is a paradise for adrenaline junkies.

Of course you can just head on in for a lakeside picnic…
An Evening at The Barbican
Plymouth’s historic Barbican Waterfront is the perfect place to enjoy a grown up evening for two. Choose from the many great bars and eateries and relax the night away soaking up the sights and sounds of the waterside.

Whitsand Bay
With over 3 miles of glorious sandy beach to sink your toes into, Whistand Bay is one of Cornwall’s hidden gems. Pull on your walking boots and explore the rugged Rame Peninsula or spend a more low key day splashing in the waves and lazing on the sand. Home to the famous HMS Scylla, a naval ship scuttled in 2004, there is some excellent SCUBA diving to be found here for the more adventurous.
