It's Valentine's Day Soon Blooming marvellous!!
A search of Ordnance Survey’s online gazetteer has revealed that Britain is blossoming with plenty of places for budding lovers to say it with flowers on Valentine’s Day.

The most popular flower is rose, boasting nearly 300 connected place names. There are Red Roses in Carmarthenshire, Rosedale in Hertfordshire, Roseland in Cornwall, Roseworth in Stockton-on-Tees, and numerous Rose Hills.

If Roses are easily red on the web site, then violets are blue in places such as Violet Hill in Nottinghamshire, Violet Grange in North Yorkshire, and Violetbank near Annan in Dumfries and Galloway.

So from Flowery Field in Tameside to Bloomsbury in Camden, Britain’s place names are a colourful collection of Garlands (Cumbria). The bouquet also includes Daisy (Isle of Scilly), Blossom (on the Orkney Isles) and a Great Lilly Farm (in Devon).

Lover - a small village just outside Salisbury in Wiltshire - attracts hundreds of die hard romantics each year, but this isn’t the only place where love appears on the British landscape.

There is Truelove in Devon, Heart’s Delight in Kent, Cupid’s Hill in Monmouthshire. There are 143 Love spots, 30 locations involving matters of the Heart and nearly 30 places touching the Soul.

It just goes to show how romantic this country is, couples can kiss in Valentines Park in London, find Red Roses in Carmarthenshire, cuddle in the shadow of Love’s Hill in Peterborough, and say Isle of Ewe off the coast of Scotland.
