The Lake District, with its breathtaking landscapes, serene waters, and charming villages, is a natural wonderland for romance. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a proposal, or simply looking for a romantic escape with your loved one, North Lakes Lodges offers the perfect base for exploring this enchanting region.
To inspire your next romantic getaway, we’ve handpicked our top three most idyllic and romantic spots in the Lake District:
1. Tarn Hows: A Picture-Perfect Stroll
Often described as one of the most beautiful and accessible beauty spots in the Lake District, Tarn Hows is a must-visit for couples. This stunning artificial tarn, nestled amongst picturesque fells and woodlands, offers a gentle and incredibly scenic circular walk. Imagine strolling hand in hand, admiring the reflections of the surrounding hills in the calm water, and finding a quiet bench to simply soak in the tranquillity together. The views are ever-changing with the seasons, making it a perfect spot for a romantic moment any time of year. Don’t forget your camera – the photo opportunities here are magical!
2. Derwentwater by Rowboat: A Secluded Serenade
For a truly intimate and memorable experience, nothing quite compares to hiring a rowboat on Derwentwater. Away from the hustle and bustle of the shore, you can glide across the serene waters, taking in the panoramic views of the surrounding fells, including Catbells and Skiddaw. Find a secluded cove, perhaps near one of the lake’s picturesque islands, and simply drift, enjoying the peace with just the gentle lapping of the water. Pack a small picnic with some local treats and enjoy a unique and unforgettable “dinner for two” surrounded by nature’s grandeur. Several boat hire points are available around Keswick.
3. Surprise View, Borrowdale: A Breathtaking Panorama
As its name suggests, Surprise View offers a stunning vista that will take your breath away. Perched high above Borrowdale, this viewpoint provides panoramic views across Derwentwater, the Jaws of Borrowdale, and the surrounding fells. It’s an ideal spot for a romantic moment, especially at sunrise or sunset when the sky is painted with vibrant colours, casting a magical glow over the landscape. Pack a flask of something warm and cosy up together, watching the ever-changing light dance across the fells. The journey up through the picturesque Borrowdale valley only adds to the anticipation and reward of this truly spectacular spot.
