There’s something undeniably magical about escaping into nature—leaving behind screens, schedules, and the everyday noise. Glamping strikes the perfect balance between wilderness and luxury, making it an ideal choice for a couples’ retreat. Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a proposal, or simply craving some quality time together, the UK offers stunning glamping spots that blend high-end comfort with peaceful seclusion. Here are some of my favourite romantic glamping destinations across the country—perfect for your next unforgettable escape. 1. The Tawny, Staffordshire – Treehouse Tranquillity Set on the edge of a former country estate, The Tawny offers an enchanting escape with treehouses, shepherds’ huts, and cabins—each thoughtfully designed and nestled in stunning natural surroundings. With outdoor bathtubs, curated picnic hampers, and stargazing experiences, it’s a dream destination for couples seeking a secluded, luxurious retreat in the heart of the wilderness. 2. Camp Katur, North Yorkshire – Off-Grid Bliss To get something a bit more rustic, Camp Katur can be found in a 250-acre estate with geodomes, tipis, and safari tents. Off-grid, quiet, and perfectly atmospheric, except it is lit with fairy lights and enclosed with forest. Couples are invited to experience trekking in woods and fire pits, stargazing hot tubs in the outdoors. Couples are increasingly turning to glamping getaways to create unforgettable moments—like marriage proposals. With such stunning surroundings, it’s no surprise that many choose to add meaningful touches, from personalised gifts to bold, statement engagement rings that reflect their unique love story. These distinctive and daring rings perfectly complement the one-of-a-kind experience of a glamping escape. 3. The Nest Glamping, Pembrokeshire – Seaside Seclusion Nestled in the rolling hills of West Wales, The Nest offers custom-built cabins and charming shepherds’ huts just steps from the seashore. Surrounded by private hot tubs, idyllic meadows, and with easy access to sandy beaches, it’s a romantic escape ideal for scenic walks and breath taking sea views. 4. Love2Stay, Shropshire – Spa Meets Safari Love2Stay may be your place in case you are fond of making nature and wellness go hand in hand. Offering wood-fired lodges, natural swimming lake, spa treatment on site, this is a luxury resort where a couple can find romantic and relaxing experience. Just imagine yoga in the early morning, and then wine at night looking at the stars.

When I hear Helly Hanson I think of sailing, or maybe skiing – but not necessarily hiking. With all their years of expertise in designing extreme sports gear they’ve become pretty clued on kitting us adventurous types out for a range of conditions and activities. Hiking and is just one of many outdoor pursuits they cater for, so I thought it was about time I check out this major player in the outdoor clothing market. I worked with the brand who provided the reviewed items for the purpose of this review, however as ever feedback will be my own thoughts and sincere opinions. Women’s Vancouver Rain Jacket Priced at £120 and available in a range of colours this jacket is light weight, durable and pleasing to the eye. I particularly like the range of colours they have for the Vancouver which include feminine tones like violet and peach. I opted for Green Mist which I love. A lot of my outdoor clothing tends to be in quite neutral tones so this is a breath of fresh air. The jacket is made well. The zip is clean and easy to use. It feels sturdy and as though it will stand the test of many a hardy hike. The jacket also features a 2-layer construction, full seam-sealing, adjustable hood and hem, zipped hand pockets, and elastic cuffs, ensuring both a comfortable and functional experience. It fits perfectly feeling warm but not restrictive. Definitely a keeper. Women’s HH LIFA® Active Solen Tank Priced at £40 the Solen Tank is designed to offer protection from the sun during all days hikes. I ordered a large which was probably the wrong size for me. It felt a bit too baggy and shapeless. I’m usually a size 12 so would recommend ordering a medium if you’re a similar size. Despite my error in the sizing I really liked the material which feels incredible breathable thanks to their Lifa active technology which moves moisture away from the skin. I also really like the freshness of the bright white. I’m terrible at keeping whites white so the novelty of wearing something so sparkling clean totally won me over! Women’s Daybreaker 1/2 Zip Fleece Priced at £65 the day breaker fleece is a cosy staple that you can’t go without. Again, coming in a range of colours this fleece is available in almost every possible shade – with some colours now on offer at just £33. This is the type of top I’ll wear endlessly in the winter. Soft to the touch, super warm and easy to wear it works perfectly as an underlayer in colder weather. An absolute classic and something I’ll be wearing endlessly. Whilst Helly Henson isn’t always the most affordable outdoor brand out there, they make quality garments that will live up expectations. I think they are especially worth considering when investing in more technical clothing such as jackets. I’ve been impressed with the products I’ve reviewed and will definitely be adding them to my kit list. If you’d like to explore their full range check out their website here.
Whether you’re a hardcore outdoorsy person planning your next big hike, or a fair weather stroller just looking to wander – having the right footwear will make a huge difference to how your time outdoors pans out. As with most things these days, the market is swamped and working out what you need can feel overwhelming. In this article I hope to help with the decision making process highlighting 5 key areas you might want to consider. So, what do you need to know when investing in a perfect pair of walking boots? Get the right fit When trying on walking boots it’s important to ensure that you find a snug fit without being too tight. Finding this balance allows your ankles to be well protected whilst still allowing movement of your toes and good circulation. Test that you can wiggle your toes. Check to make sure that there are no obvious pressure points likely to cause blisters or rubbing. Make sure there is no significant heel lift. If you’re not quite sure if a boot is for you, try the next size (or half size) up. Think terrain You might well be looking for an all rounder shoe that can see you through a rang of terrains – from cruisy pastures to a gentle scramble. If that’s the case try a softer boot which will allow a more versatile approach. For the more extreme hiker, maybe wanting to explore rocky trails or icy paths consider a harder shell which will offer greater support and be more durable under duress. Suggestion: Terrex Mid-Cut Leather Boot Which fabric best suits you? Again, it’s important you consider how you’ll be using your boots. If you want something light weight that will dry quickly then a fabric or synthetic upper might work best. However, if you’re seeking something that will withstand more challenging environments such as scree or ice then you will want a more durable material such as leather. Suggestion: Terrex A4X Mid Gore Tex Hiking Shoe Mid or high top? I’m prone to twisting my ankle on uneven ground – I’ve done it so many times I won’t risk wearing a boot that doesn’t support them any more. But.. not everyone is as clumsy as me, and not everyone wants to feel restricted in a high top boot. There are plenty of options for mid or low cut boots which are great for everyday wear, train running and for exploring less challenging terrain. Suggestion: Terrex Anylander Price matters Of course the price matters. Doesn’t it always? Whilst it is possible to get a reasonable walking boot for around £50 it is worth investing slightly more to make sure what you’re buying is up for the job. How much you invest depends on what you plan to use your hiking boots for. If you’re hiking in the Alps the lest thing you want is for your sole to come lose, or to realise that they are not as waterproof as you thought. If you are relying on your boot to provide comfort, durability and reliability a long way from home invest that little bit more. It’s not worth taking the risk
