If you like the great outdoors, you should definitely head to Gosford Forest Park. It’s a beautiful park with large herds of deer, plants and flowers from around the world, walled gardens, beehives and gorgeous picnic areas. This is a real haven for nature lovers.

3. Uluru Bistro

Urulu_ArmaghIf you’re a romantic at heart – a top quality restaurant with great food and equally good ambiance is the perfect way to impress your date. Uluru Bistro sits in the shadow of St Patrick’s Cathedral and it even has a story of romance regarding how the restaurant came to exist. The couple who own it met and fell in love on Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia then decided to move to Ireland together and open an Australian themed restaurant. The restaurant has a menu fit for adventurous foodies with everything from chargrilled kangaroo steaks to Malaysian sticky pork. Some of the unusual items on the menu will definitely make a great talking point! If you’re dining here – make sure you save room for dessert – the homemade apple crumble with locally sourced apples is to die for (and even better with two spoons!).
