10 Date Ideas in Swansea

Croeso, young romantic! If you’re looking for unique and inspiring ways to impress your date in Swansea, you’re in the right place! Luckily for you, Swansea’s mind-blowing beauty spots and candle-lit watering holes are among the finest in the UK. So, relax; it’s going to be a walk in the park (and many other super romantic things!)

1. Dylan Thomas’ House

Embrace your inner poet and arrange to meet your date at Dylan Thomas’s old house. With views over the city, and acres of green parkland to explore, Cwmdonkin Park is easily one of Swansea’s most romantic landmarks. And to top it all off, only a hop, skip and a kiss away you’ll find the famous Upland’s Tavern. Not only does it boast the cosy, open-fire-lit snug where Dylan dreamt up much of his finest works, but it’s also the heart of Swansea’s buzzing live music scene – perfect for that all-important first dance!

2. Clyne Gardens

Hold hands on Japanese and Italian bridges, and explore this world of exotic flowers and fornication, sorry, I mean fauna. Clyne Gardens, with its ocean views, really is every bit as romantic as it sounds. Get lost in the green-canopied paths before following the sweet salty scents down to the ocean, where you’ll find The Woodman. Not only do they stock some of the world’s finest wines, but they also keep their rustic wooden tables candle-lit at all times. Lush!

3. South Gower Footpath

Get physical with a brisk coastal walk along Swansea’s wild and rugged South Gower footpath. Don’t worry about finding things to talk about; as you explore Britain’s first official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – which includes the butterscotch beaches of Caswell and Langland – words and passion will soon find their own flow. It’s a two-mile walk bordered by the deep blue sea and an eternity of golden Yellow Whitlowgrass, and the delightful Langland’s Brasserie (literally on the beach) provides the perfect spot to wine and dine your date for the rest of the evening.
