Where’s your favourite romantic place in the world?

With Valentine’s Day less than a week away, the National Trust have put together a list of some of the most romantic places in Britain. They include the beautiful Giant’s Causeway and Lyme Park, famous as the setting for that lake scene from Pride and Prejudice. It’s got me thinking about my own favourite romantic places. In Britain I’d probably say St Ives. Further afield – well the beaches of the Caribbean are of course incredibly romantic, ditto California, but Kualoa Ranch in Hawaii, the backdrop for Lost, is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve been to, and it’s no surprise that so many couples choose to get married there. It’s simply stunning, particularly at sunset. My ultimate romantic place though has to be Villa del Balbianello on Lake Como. It was used to great effect in Casino Royale and um.. Star Wars Episode II and it’s almost laughably romantic, with idyllic terraces everywhere offering incredible vistas of the Lake. Where are your favourite romantic places? I’d love to know. written by Liz Jarvis
