Date spot in Liverpool
Sefton Park and the Palm House
Walk round the lake and through the trees of Liverpool's great Victorian park, and warm up among the plants in the Palm House, its 1896 glasshouse.
Why it's a good date: A long, easy walk with somewhere warm and green in the middle of it. The Palm House is closed some days for weddings and events, so check before you go.

Walk the beach among Antony Gormley's Another Place: 100 cast-iron figures standing along the sand, all looking out to sea.
Why it's a good date: A short train ride out and you're on a wide, windswept beach with a hundred silent companions. Go for sunset, and stay off the soft sand near the figures furthest out: the tide comes in fast.

Have a pint in one of England's grandest Victorian pubs, all mosaics, stained glass, carved wood and famously ornate marble gents' toilets.
Why it's a good date: A drink somewhere this beautiful costs no more than anywhere else. It's across the road from the Philharmonic Hall, so it's the natural place to start a concert night.
