The competition was tough but here is the top ten short list of the UKs most romantic picnic hotspots:
1 Barafundle Beach, Wales
2 Hidden Valley, Scotland
3 Aysgarth Falls, Yorkshire
4 Chatsworth Estate, Derbyshire
5 Winchombe, Gloucester
6 Cheddar Gorge, Somerset
7 Stourhead, Wiltshire
8 Spitchwick Common, Devon
9 Kenwood House, North London
10 Buckler's Hard, Hampshire
It may have been voted the most romantic picnic spot in the UK, but Barafundle Beach is certainly not the only romantic place to retreat to. The Two's Company Guide offers descriptions, practical advice and recipe suggestions for all twenty five spots on their romantic shortlist. From immaculate landscape gardens in Surrey to remote valleys steeped in history in Scotland and breathtaking waterfalls in Yorkshire, the picnic guide is also jam-packed with delicious, easy to make, food-pairing snacking recipes. Whether you decide on Barafundle Beach or a walk in the cool woods at Ilam Park in Derbyshire, grab your partner (and kids if you can't get a babysitter - you can always go back on your own another time!) and head outdoors for some fun. And remember picnics aren't just for the summer!!!
