The City of Edinburgh and Horning, Norfolk: £231,000 

In a more urban setting, Edinburgh is the most affordable romantic city for property, with an average cost of £231,355, the castle excluded. But a quieter alternative at the same price is the ancient village of Horning in Norfolk with an average cost of £231,466. It runs along the water and is in close proximity to Norfolk Broads National Park.

Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire: £308,810

Ringwood, Hampshire: £317,629 

The market town of Ringwood in Hampshire, dating back to 961, offers access to both the stunning New Forest and a ‘small village’ atmosphere providing daily romance.

The Cotswolds: £357,424 

The stunning scenery and villages scattered across the Cotswolds makes it a perfect choice for anything to do with romance. However, fellow lovers have caught on generations ago and the property value is certainly suggestive of this with average property value at a hefty £357,424. We guess you really can’t put a price on love.
