LOVE ON TWO WHEELS

It’s often said that the best dates are where you’re out doing something together, so ditch the pub and go for a Segway ride around the grounds of dreamy Leeds Castle. If all that fresh air leaves you hungry for more, head to nearby Hollingbourne for dinner at The Windmill.

GO WILD

Wild at heart couples can share their love for animals at Port Lympne Reserve. The wildlife park near Hythe is home to more than 700 animals, including tigers.

LOVE AHOY!

It doesn’t matter if your date is hopelessly amorous or reluctantly romantic, take their breath away on a sea safari. Show off your adventurous side with a trip to the Goodwin Sands or opt for the Aah! factor on a seal-spotting afternoon. This year’s safaris start in March.

ON THE RIVER

Take an alternative tour of Canterbury in a romantic river boat. Choose from a private tour, perfect for couples, or go on a group tour through the historic city centre along the River Stour.

FEED THE ROMANCE

Kick-start your love life by knocking back an aphrodisiac at Whitstable’s Royal Native Oyster Stores

.

ON COURSE FOR LOVE

Splash the cash at one of Kent’s three Michelin-starred restaurants at Seasalter, Tunbridge Wells or Biddenden. Any of the trio may leave a dent in your wallet but are sure to leave a big impression.

HANDS IN THE AIR

Head to the coast for a rock’n’roll date. Ride the UK’s oldest roller- coaster at recently-renovated Dreamland in Margate. Featuring 17 restored vintage fairground attractions as well as the Grade II-listed roller-coaster, it could be a day to remember.

SMOOTH OPERATOR

Hold on tight and skate the date away at Kent’s premier ice rink. Silver Blades at Gillingham has a full-size ice pad, so there’s lots of room to show off your best moves!

DINE AMERICAN-STYLE

Make a move over a milkshake at an American-themed diner in Canterbury. Ed’s Diner brings the 1950s to life where you can enjoy burgers and hot dogs.

GO TO THE FLICKS

Check out Margate's Westgate Cinema. Tickets cost from just £2.50 midweek, so why not upgrade to lounge seats for an extra £1?

EXPLORING THE FOREST

Love the great outdoors? While away a romantic afternoon wandering through one of the world’s finest conifer collections at Bedgebury National Pinetum, near Goudhurst. If the sun’s out, why not pack a picnic and chill out by the lake?

WARM THINGS UP

Cuddle up over coffee at the Fine Grind Espresso Bar. It’s an independent coffee shop promising a different experience away from the hustle and bustle of Tunbridge Wells town centre. It sources local produce, too… even better!

TEA FOR TWO

Go wild in the country at the ultimate classic country house hotel. Why not go for a romantic walk through 22 acres of serene parkland at Chilston Park, near Lenham, and then stop for a spot of afternoon tea?
