Romantic Things to do in North Wales for Couples

North Wales is a region woven with myth, wild beauty and heart-stirring scenery; all qualities which make it the perfect destination for a romantic escape. From dramatic mountain peaks to peaceful coastal hideaways, every corner of this wonderful region offers opportunities for couples to connect, unwind and fall in love all over again.

Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning to pop the question or simply searching for unforgettable days out in North Wales for couples during your holiday, here are five enchanting experiences that promise to bring you both closer together.

1. Celebrate the Welsh St. Valentine

No list of romantic things to do in North Wales would be complete without a visit to Llanddwyn Island, a windswept tidal island just off the coast of Anglesey. This is the home of St. Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers who is often referred to as the Welsh St. Valentine.

According to legend, Dwynwen was a 5th-century princess who fell deeply in love with a young man named Maelon. When fate kept them apart, she prayed for the happiness of all lovers and devoted her life to God. Her compassion and heartbreak made her a symbol of true love and selflessness, and today she is celebrated every year on January 25th, a day otherwise known as St. Dwynwen’s Day.

Walking hand in hand across the golden sands that lead to the island, you’ll pass wild dunes, rugged cliffs and the ruins of St. Dwynwen’s Church, built in her honour. The views across the Menai Strait to Snowdonia are breathtaking especially at sunset, when the sky glows pink and the lighthouse casts its soft light over the sea. It’s a truly magical place to make a proposal or simply soak in the romance of Welsh folklore.

2. Share the Summit of Snowdon
If you and your partner love adventure, then conquering Snowdon together is one of the most memorable days out in North Wales for couples you can experience. Standing at 1,085 metres, it’s the highest mountain in Wales and offers panoramic views that are guaranteed to take your breath away, both literally and figuratively.

There are several Snowdon Mountain walking routes to choose from, ranging from the gentle Llanberis Path to the more challenging Pyg and Miners’ Tracks. Whichever you choose, the journey is as rewarding as the destination, with waterfalls, glacial lakes and sweeping valleys around every turn.

For those who prefer a more leisurely ascent, the Snowdon Mountain Railway provides a scenic ride to the top, giving you time to enjoy each other’s company while the spectacular landscape unfolds outside your window. Once at the summit you can enjoy a well-earned drink at the Hafod Eryri Visitor Centre and gaze out across the mountains. On a clear day, you can even see across the waters to Ireland. It’s a truly romantic setting to cap a fantastic day out.

3. Take a Romantic Coastal Walk
Few things are as peaceful as walking along the shoreline with someone you love, and the North Wales coastline offers some of the most scenic seafront strolls in the UK. Colwyn Bay is particularly special with its blend of natural beauty, seaside charm and quiet sophistication.

The promenade has recently been significantly renovated, turning it into one of the most modern seafront in the UK. Stretching for miles, the promenade connects Colwyn Bay with the neighbouring North Wales seaside towns of Rhos-on-Sea and Llandudno. As you walk, you’ll pass golden beaches, elegant Victorian architecture and hear the sound of gentle waves lapping at the shore. Along the way you can stop for an ice cream, share fish and chips on a bench overlooking the sea or find a hidden spot to watch the sun dip below the horizon.

Whether you’re planning a lazy afternoon or an active day outdoors, Colwyn Bay’s serene seaside atmosphere makes it one of the most relaxing romantic places to visit in North Wales and the ideal destination for a traditional British day out at the seaside.

4. Book a Romantic Meal Out
After a day of exploring, there’s nothing more romantic than sitting down to a delicious meal with stunning countryside views. A meal at The Cliffs Bar and Restaurant in Abergele can make this vision a reality, being one of the most elegant dining spots in North Wales.

Perched high above the coast, this stylish restaurant offers floor-to-ceiling windows that frame spectacular countryside views. As the sun sets, the sky turns a warm shade of gold creating a stunning backdrop for a glass of champagne and an intimate dinner.

The menu celebrates locally sourced ingredients, from freshly caught seafood to Welsh lamb and seasonal produce. Signature dishes like their signature Lamb Henry or Chicken Pesto Lasagna are beautifully presented, while the desserts such as their thick Sticky Toffee Pudding and traditional Jam Sponge are sure to satisfy those with a sweet tooth.

For couples staying at Tan Rallt Holiday Park, The Cliffs Restaurant is located just a short walk away from their Abergele holiday home door, forming part of the sensational collection of on-site facilities at Tan Rallt. Guests staying at nearby Bryn Defaid Holiday Park or Marine Holiday Park are also more than welcome to take the short drive for a meal that will be well worth the journey. Make sure that you book ahead to avoid missing out!

5. Visit Bodnant Garden
If you’re searching for a peaceful escape that feels like stepping into another world, look no further than Bodnant Garden near Conwy. This world-famous National Trust property is one of the most picturesque days out in North Wales for couples, offering 80 acres of stunning gardens, terraces, woodlands and meadows.

The gardens are a living work of art, changing with the seasons. From the golden glow of daffodils in spring to the fiery reds and oranges of autumn. The highlight for many visitors is the Laburnum Arch, a tunnel of golden blossoms that bursts into life each May and June, creating a fairytale setting that’s ideal for taking romantic selfies that you can post on your socials.

Wander hand in hand through the Italianate terraces, listen to the gentle murmur of the stream in the Dell and stop for afternoon tea at the on-site cafe where you can sample homemade cakes and local treats. The sense of peace and beauty at Bodnant Garden makes it an idyllic setting for a quiet day out together that will create picture perfect memories.
