Drive or take the bus to the 14th-century castle used in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Outlander and Game of Thrones.
Why it's a good date: The audio guide is narrated by Terry Jones, which sets the tone. It's one of the busiest castles in the area, so book ahead, then walk along the River Teith afterwards.
