Share this post

Valentines’ day is here – and what better way to spend it than proposing to the one you love? But how do you plan the perfect proposal without the pressure of extravagant displays, filmed reactions and getting the perfect behind the scenes clips. What if all you want is a romantic setting, amongst amazing views, somewhere local, just the two of you, no cameras?

If you are wondering how to make all this possible, then keep reading as I share my favourite places to get engaged this February.

 

What is the most dramatic place to propose in the Peak District?

If drama is your style, then Monsal Dale Viaduct is hard to beat! One of the most photographed spots in England! It offers breathtaking views over the riverside meadows from the old railway line. A truly cinematic setting for such a big moment!

In the build-up of this special moment, the walk along the Monsal Trail makes it even more memorable, leading you to the proposal spot right at the halfway point! Afterwards, you can enjoy a relaxed stroll back together, laughing talking and making memories that last a lifetime.

 

Where can you propose at sunrise at the Peak District?

For the perfect sunrise moment, Mam Tor is an unforgettable location! The tallest section of the peak offers never-ending viewpoints of the sunrise emerging in the early hours, the best place to pop the question. Name a better place to propose than watching sky ablaze with your favourite person, at the top of the world!

An early start, but unforgettable memories! Building up the anticipation for such a memorable moment between you both. Mam Tor provides a breathtaking backdrop to sit, talk and take in the unexpected moment, caught entirely by surprise.

 

What is the most luxurious place to get engaged in the Peak District?

If you are dreaming of top end luxury and classic history, Chatsworth House is a remarkable choice. A truly outstanding grade 1 listed home, surrounded by romantic gardens, perfect for making your proposal enchanted and wrapped in luxury.

Surrounded by English heritage and Peak District style, it adds the perfect wow- factor to such a memorable day! Just a quiet moment surrounded by rolling hills, taking in such a special moment between you both.

 

Where can you find a simple but breathtaking proposal spot?

And finally, for a simplistic but spectacular spot, look at Curbar Edge. A place where romance meets the unexpected. A cliff edge towering over the Derbyshire moors, perfect for a cherished memory. The natural beauty of the sun overlooking the Peak District, makes this moment unforgettable.

Paired with a small walk to the cliff edge, provides a build-up of emotions for what’s to come, not only the proposal but the excitement for a future as husband and wife.

 

How do you choose the perfect place to propose?

Finding the best place to propose to your loved ones can be very difficult, there is a need to make it perfect, meaningful and exciting! So how do you pick such a breathtaking place to get engaged?

First, think of your favourite spots as a couple, secondly tie your relationship down to one keyword, such as dramatic, loving, adventurous, and finally read blogs, search online and investigate places that you believe, not only match you as a couple but will mean something in years to come!
