Ride the Metro to the coast for the clifftop priory and castle ruins, a walk on Longsands beach and a browse round the weekend market in the old station.

Why it's a good date: Half an hour from town and you're at the seaside. Bring a coat, walk the beach, then fish and chips with a view of the sea.
