1. An Abbey & Shakespeare
Kirkstall Abbey

An amazingly well preserved abbey dating back to the 12th century, Kirkstall Abbey is an important historical landmark for England. A place of spiritual meditation and architectural achievement, you can expect to spend an enjoyable day exploring this place. The open park surrounding the abbey is a boon for those who love walking (especially hand-in-hand).

The abbey is also home to the popular Shakespeare Festival, an open-air event held each year. Experience the magic of a Midsummer Night's Dream under the stars, and gain a new perspective to the works of England's most famous bard.


2. Live the country life

Lively music provides the perfect background score for your love story. Share yummy snacks or enjoy a scrumptious meal together before participating in a country version of a jam session.
