Drive out onto Dartmoor and scramble up Haytor, a great granite tor with views across the moor to the sea, then wander over to the old quarry pond.

Why it's a good date: Wild, open and a short walk from the car park, so it's an easy big view. Go late on a clear afternoon for the light, and finish with a cream tea in Widecombe or Bovey Tracey.
