Take a short boat trip along the Dee from the Groves, past riverside gardens and grand houses, or the longer cruise out to the Duke of Westminster's estate.

Why it's a good date: Half an hour on the water with nothing to do but sit back. Go late in the afternoon, then walk over the Queen's Park suspension bridge and back along the Groves.
