When you think of the most romantic scene in a film, where is it set? For this Digital Writer<\/a>, she always thinks of Mr Darcy walking through a field in the morning fog to meet Elizabeth Bennet, for Digital Writer Olivia<\/a> it\u2019s the Kate Moss exhibition in About Time, and we\u2019d like to give a special shout out to Cameron Diaz for running to Jude Law\u2019s cottage in the snow.<\/p>\n

And what do all of those romantic scenes have in common? They\u2019re all set in the UK! With Pride and Prejudice filming in locations like Kent, Derbyshire, Berkshire, and Stamford, About Time taking place in the hustle and bustle of London, and The Holiday\u2019s setting is peaceful Surrey.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Valentine\u2019s Day, travel agent TourScanner<\/a> conducted a study to find out which UK city has the highest percentage of romantic films and TV shows shot on location, making it the most romantic spot to spend Valentine\u2019s Day with your loved one this year.<\/p>\n

This survey is right up RadioTimes.com<\/a>\u2019s street; the 100 year Radio Times magazine is devoted to television and radio listings, and the Going Out<\/a> team are dedicated to finding ways our readers can experience their favourite movies and series in real life. Just take a look at our Peaky Blinders tours<\/a>, Harry Potter tours<\/a>, Downton Abbey tours<\/a>, plus film and TV studio tours<\/a> guides.<\/p>\n

So, we\u2019ve listed the most romantic UK destinations below (complete with which movies and TV shows were filmed there), and suggested some fantastic experiences you can do with your other half when you visit those places. If your Valentine\u2019s Day getaway leads to a proposal, the Going Out team will happily accept our invite!<\/p>\n

Where are most romance movies filmed?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re a romance film connoisseur, such as the RadioTimes.com<\/strong> team, you\u2019ll know that romance movies are shot all over the world; from Ireland\u2019s PS I Love You and Tokyo\u2019s Lost in Translation, to When Harry Met Sally taking place mostly in New York and In the Mood for Love being shot in Bangkok, although it\u2019s set in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n

However, Italy and Paris remain some of the most popular destinations for romance films. After all, the beautiful Before Sunset takes place in Paris, and Eat Pray Love in Rome.<\/p>\n

However, you don\u2019t have to travel too far for a spot of romance, there\u2019s plenty right on your doorstep! In TourScanner\u2019s survey to find out which UK city has the most romantic films and TV shows shot on location, West Yorkshire\u2019s Keighley took the top spot. Then in second place is Bath, with Worthing, Cheltenham, and Salisbury also having honourable mentions in the most romantic UK city list.<\/p>\n
