Walk the paths between the lakes and reed beds of old gravel pits by the Trent, now full of birds, then warm up in the nature centre's café on the water.
Why it's a good date: Peaceful and wild-feeling, with herons, swans and the odd kingfisher. The train stops at Attenborough, so you don't need a car.
