Plan the perfect Plymouth proposal

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, love is in the air and Britain’s Ocean City could make the perfect backdrop to your proposal. If you’re planning to pop the question then here’s a few suggestions of beautiful spots in Plymouth where you can get down on one knee.

For an unforgettable view, climb the 93 steps to the top of Smeaton’s Tower, the red and white striped former lighthouse that stands proudly on Plymouth Hoe. Get down on one knee in this beautiful spot and get the best engagement snaps with panoramic views of Devon in the background!

If a quirky proposal is more your thing, then the National Marine Aquarium offers proposal packages. Underwater friends will add an unexpected element as divers in the spectacular Eddystone Reef tank hold up a sign asking your beloved to marry you.

Alternatively, if you are a traditional couple then the formal elegance of Mount Edgcumbe’s gardens might be the perfect place to pop the question. A mix of historical creations dating back hundreds of years and newer additions, the beautiful gardens are a romantic haven to explore together and a special place where you can treasure the moment.

For a picture perfect moment, plan to ask them at the Firestone Bay Arch at Royal William Yard. With stunning views of the ocean and Drake’s Island behind you, it’s an extra special spot.

Wherever you choose to ask your loved one, we hope it's an especially memorable moment! We'd love to see pics from your Plymouth proposals - share them with us using #VisitPlymouth.
