Autumn is the season of transformation. From the crisp autumnal air to the glorious colours of the leaves on the trees as they get ready to fall, autumn is one of the prettiest seasons. Add the cosy vibes of log fires and hot chocolate, and this makes it the perfect season for deepening your connection to your significant other through shared, romantic experiences. Whether you are in a new relationship or have been together for a number of years, here are some special things you can do with your significant other this autumn that will make your time together all the sweeter.
Explore the colours of the season
The UK is blessed to have some spectacular scenery that becomes even more beautiful when filled with the colours of autumn. There are plenty of gentle strolls next to babbling brooks to woodland walks under a canopy of reds and golden shades you could take. So, with the crunch of crisp leaves underfoot, why not take a walk, hand-in-hand, with the special person in your life.
If you don’t have wonderful scenery on your doorstep, then why not book a romantic weekend away at a fantastic hotel that will allow you to explore the local area. Lake District romantic breaks and other things of the sort can make a huge difference to your seasonal experience.
Cosy up by a roaring fire
As the evenings get a little cooler, there is nothing quite like a real fire. It’s the perfect way to stay warm and close. Whether you find a local bonfire to attend, opt for a fire pit in your own garden or simply curl up on the sofa in front of a real fire in your own living room, it’s an amazing opportunity to spend time enjoying each other’s company in a romantic atmosphere.
Plan an autumn-themed date night
Whether you choose to stay at home for date night or go out, why not plan something with an autumnal theme? With so many restaurants now taking advantage of local seasonal produce and creating menus that reflect the season you will be sure to find somewhere offering the perfect dishes. Take time to enjoy great food and great company in a romantic setting.
Do an autumn photoshoot
Why not take advantage of all that wonderful autumn foliage and do an autumnal photoshoot with a backdrop of autumn colours? Head to a scenic spot with a fantastic view, wear coordinating outfits and take some pictures together. This is the perfect way to capture the colours of autumn, make memories and have keepsakes of a special day that you can look back on.
As a bonus, why not take a picnic with you? They don’t have to be something you only do in the warmer months. Remember something to sit on and perhaps a flask of coffee or even soup to take the chill off the day.
Take a scenic train ride
For a romantic and relaxed day, why not hop aboard a steam or mountain train? There are still a number of places in the UK that offer scenic routes to beautiful locations. These routes offer breathtaking views of moorlands, mountains, and of course, those all-important autumnal landscapes, all from the comfort of your cosy train seat.
The added bonus is that there is often a teashop, wonderful views, and gentle walks when you reach your destination, allowing you to make a full day of it.
The Lake District is a spot-on example of all of these special things that you could do with your significant other. It also has some fantastic hotels, so you will be spoilt for choice if you want to do several special things to create extra memories. The special things on our list are not just activities but things that will help you build wonderful memories, deepen your bond, and celebrate the beauty of autumn side-by-side.
