Cornwall is known to be a romance hot spot, with its Mediterranean-esque shores, beautiful hiking trails and cute picnic spots. If you don’t know where to start when it comes to planning your couple’s itinerary, don’t worry, our guide on things to do in Cornwall for couples has you covered!
If you’re a couple who loves to surf or go for a swim in turquoise waters, a visit to Fistral Beach should be at the top of your list of things to do here; it’s one of the best places to visit in Cornwall for couples. Bude’s coast is another great option for a date, with Bude Sea Pool offering a relaxing dip with great views.
Cornwall’s many towns also make for great locations for a romantic outing, such as Padstow with its harbour hosting several welcoming shops and eateries to explore. Alternatively, head to the city of Truro and embark on the City Walk, or soak up the history in Truro Cathedral.
If you want to treat your partner to one of the really romantic things to do in Cornwall for couples, we recommend boarding the Bodmin and Wenford Railway, where you can both enjoy the views of Cardinham Woods and the River Fowey. Or, enjoy a date at the Broomhill Sculpture Gardens; here, an array of art pieces await alongside an on-site restaurant.
