The Perfect Romantic Scenery:

Crim Dell – a classic Williamsburg spot for a smooch or even a wedding ceremony, particularly for William & Mary alumni. Located on W&M’s campus, it is a gorgeous bridge notorious as the perfect spot for proposals and even weddings.

Colonial Parkway – the beaches overlooking the James and York Rivers on the parkway are absolutely gorgeous when the weather is nice.

The Governor’s Palace Gardens – Behind the palace, you will find a gorgeous span of varied landscape where there is no shortage of romantic spots to explore. Some of these spots include a bridge quite similar to Crim Dell running over the small lake, a maze made entirely out of hedges, and an arbor producing the most beautiful foliage in the spring awaits you and your loved one.
