Forgo the commercialized Valentine's Day cards, chocolates, and gifts this year in favor of some quality alone time with your sweetheart. Enjoy breathtaking landscapes, sumptuous cuisine, and a host of light-hearted happenings at these National Trust Valentine's Day events across England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
Members of the Royal Oak Foundation, the National Trust's U.S. affiliate, will enjoy FREE admission to all of these historic sites (although additional Valentine's event charges may apply).
So toss that heart-shaped box of chocolates and head across the pond for the following love fest.
