King's College Chapel's grey stone side and its crown-topped tower above a green lawn

Stroll the cobbled High Street past King's College Chapel and its stone crown tower to St Machar's Cathedral, then carry on into Seaton Park.

Why it's a good date: It feels like a separate village, quiet and very old, and it's at its best in autumn. There are cafés near the university, and the Cruickshank Botanic Garden is close by for more green.
