ideas to help you start planning your break
If you like historical houses and tranquil gardens then there are lots to visit including Chalice Well in Glastonbury. With three lovely acres of beautiful garden lying at the foot of the Glastonbury Tor, Chalice Well is one of the oldest wells in the UK and is a peaceful and inspiring place to step into.
Another one that you may consider seeing with your loved one is the gorgeous Forde Abbey and Gardens, set in 30 acres of beautiful land with the Centenary Fountain, the highest powered fountain in the whole of England, being a magnificent centre piece. The house itself is fascinating to see as it dates back 850 years and features elaborate and rich Mortlake tapestries.
The dramatic and sweeping coastline in Dorset is great for taking strolls by with your partner, and renting a self-catering cottage is a brilliant idea for if you love to soak up some fresh sea air when on holiday. There are the busy resorts of Minehead and Burnham which have lovely sandy beaches and lots of pubs and restaurants, or for a quieter and more romantic place where you can whisper sweet nothings into your love’s ear, you may wish instead to discover the gorgeous harbours and marinas at Porlock Weir or Portishead. Taking walks along the Exmoor coastline is a wonderful thing to do as you take in the awe-inspiring views and stop off for picnics or for lunch at a little hidden café.
Going on a last minute romantic break in Somerset is a great way to show your partner how much you care and do something different. You won’t have to plan much, or at all, all you need is to decide where it is you wish to go, and then just pack your bags and visit this charming county in southwest England.
