Date spot in Swansea

No Sign Wine Bar

Have a drink in Wind Street's oldest bar, a long, narrow, wood-panelled room that's said to have been one of Dylan Thomas's regular haunts.

Wind Street, city centre

56 Wind Street, Swansea SA1 1EG

Why it's a good date: A characterful old pub on a street better known for loud bars. Go early in the evening for a quiet glass, or stay for the live music downstairs in the cellar at weekends.

    Drive out to the far end of Gower for three miles of sand below the downs, then cross the causeway at low tide to Worm's Head, the long rocky island off the point.

    Why it's a good date: One of the great views in Britain, and the sunsets are worth staying for. Worm's Head can only be reached for a few hours either side of low tide, so check the times at the coastwatch lookout before you set off across.

    Walk along Pennard Cliffs from Southgate and down to a sandy bay framed by three pointed limestone crags, with the ruins of Pennard Castle above.

    Why it's a good date: It looks like a postcard from every angle. Park at Southgate and follow the cliff path, keep an eye on the tide and the river across the sand, and bring a picnic for the dunes.

    Book a long lunch or dinner at the Michelin-starred restaurant on the sand at Oxwich Bay, cooking with Welsh produce in a converted coal store.
