• Romantic picnic sites - The ingredients for a perfect picnic are a blanket, a basket full of top quality local produce and the great Yorkshire outdoors. Here are just a few spots for a perfect outdoor feast. Spread your picnic blanket just where the Brontes once did at Bronte Falls. At Spurn Point you can eat on the sand with the sea almost all around you. Climb the 199 steps up to Whitby Abbey, a perfect place for a picnic. Danes Dyke is a secluded little beach just south of Flamborough Head. Aysgarth Falls in Wensleydale is a favourite picnic spot where you'll be rewarded with a crashing, hissing white water spectacle whilst you eat your sandwiches.

• Stroll hand in hand on the beach - The Yorkshire coastline encompasses some of the UK's most rugged and charming countryside, from tiny fishing villages clinging to rocky cliffs to glorious stretches of white sand and bustling seaside resorts, with everything from windswept abbeys to the county's best fish and chips. Nothing if not diverse, expect Blue Flag beaches, chilly feet if you brave the sea and a chance to lose yourself in this naturally beautiful destination with your loved one.

• Boating - Yorkshire has more than 100 miles of coastline, dozens of rivers and reservoirs and an ancient canal network. Gently stroll along miles of tranquil towpaths, stopping off in towns and villages along the way, or cruise along at the helm of your very own narrowboat. Shire Cruisers, Silsden Boat Holidays and Lady Teal are just a few operators to choose from. Search for more boating holidays here.

• Cosy up at a drive in movie - Snuggle up with your loved one and relax whilst watching a favourite movie beneath the stars. Check out the regular screenings in York or Harewood House.
