Whilst of course people can propose to each other whenever they like, here are some romantic spots around the town for those thinking of sticking with tradition this weekend.
9. Haburn Wyke waterfall
The beach and waterfall at Hayburn Wyke is a relatively private spot providing a beautiful place to propose with less chance of others interrupting. Theres also a pub close by for celebrations (hopefully!) afterwards.

11. Freddie Gilroy
Away from the hustle and bustle of South Bay, North Bay has stunning views, and the statue of Freddie Gilroy provides you with a perfect spot to stop and ask the question. Photo: Richard Ponter
12. Peasholm Park pagoda
After a quiet walk around Peasholm Park, and a short climb to the top of the island youll find yourself in a Japanese-inspired corner outside the pagoda, a quaint place to get down on one knee. Photo: Richard Ponter
