There’s a selection of activities that most people do for Valentine’s Day, like taking a trip, staying in a hotel, eating, going for a walk, or watching a movie. All of these activities can be done on a trip away, as well as you and your partner experiencing the fun of a new environment, a fancy place and the privacy and stress reduction of being away from home. Keswick is a great place to take this break, offering gorgeous scenery, delicious traditional food and fun activities through the market town. This article details one option for a romantic overnight trip in Keswick to celebrate Valentine’s Day, to give you some inspiration.
Go on a walk
There are plenty of walks around Keswick that present the stunning landscapes of the Lake District, being a major appeal of the destination. Keswick walks include Braithwaite, Newlands Valley and Threlkeld. The walks range in distance and difficulty, so there’s an option for anyone, whether you’re an avid hiker or just want a little stroll to see the beautiful lakes, mountains and woods.
Get some lunch
Many restaurants in Keswick offer a range of dishes depending on your and your partner’s tastes. If you want to go traditional, here are some traditional Cumbrian foods:
- Cumberland sausages are chunky pork sausages. You might have them in a bangers-and-mash meal or a sausage casserole.
- Sticky toffee pudding is an indulgent dessert made with dates, with its roots in Cumbria.
- Cumberland rum butter is made from dark rum, brown sugar and usually locally farmed butter. This can be eaten on toast or as a side in desserts.
Check in to your hotel
Most hotels have check-in times between 2 pm and 4 pm, so you’ll probably be ready to check in after your lunch date. Hotels in Keswick are generally very well reviewed and many offer options for bringing dogs, dining at their hotel restaurants, or visiting spas.
Choosing a hotel that fits the traits you and your partner want and stays within your budget can make a big difference to your trip. So, do some bargain hunting and look for post-Christmas hotel offers or deals.
Do a local activity
Whether you want to do romantic arts and crafts, take a bike or boat tour, or see one of the many beautiful gardens in the area, Keswick has an activity for everyone. The local scene is thriving, so have a deep dive into your options and establish what works best for you as a couple.
Have a romantic dinner
You can decide whether dining out or at your hotel restaurant is the better option, depending on where you have chosen to stay. Regardless, a romantic dinner is an absolute staple of a Valentine’s Day celebration and is a great place to have some one-on-one time to talk and reflect on your relationship and what you value about each other.
