Stargazing
Obviously, you can stargaze while camping and we absolutely think you should, but stargazing isn’t exclusive to the camping crowd. For instance, you may have a garden but not want to sleep in it, so why not pop outside with a glass of wine, sit on the grass or at a bistro table, and enjoy an hour or so under the stars. If you don’t have a garden but do have a balcony, there are few better places to sit and enjoy the night sky. If you live in a big city then light-pollution may make stargazing a little more difficult, but there is some beauty to be found in looking out over the city lights.
Go For A Walk
I promise we’re not running out of ideas but let’s be honest, a list of lockdown-friendly Valentine’s Day ideas for nature lovers would be incomplete without mentioning walking. Going for a walk is one of the few activities we’re able to do at the moment that lets us get out of the house. In that way, walking isn’t only beneficial to our physical health, but our mental health too.
As far as Valentine’s day is concerned, walking provides couples with a chance to explore their local area and enjoy some quality time away from TV’s, computers, consoles, and so on. If there’s a road or nearby country lane you’ve never been down, why not explore and try to capture at least a fraction of the excitement you’d otherwise experience exploring further afield? If you’ve been everywhere there is to go, and seen everything there is to see in your local area, perhaps revisit your favourite spots or a place where something particularly meaningful or funny happened to you both.
Remember though, the weather forecast for Valentine’s day across the UK is cold and rainy, so make sure you take your waterproof jackets along with you.
