Dating in the South West: Find Singles Near You

Every part of the West Country dates a little differently. Pick your county or city for local first-date ideas, the towns worth adding to your search and some of the members who live there.

One region, a lot of ground to cover

The South West is the longest region in England. From Bristol to Land's End is close to two hundred miles, most of it on the M5, the A30 and the A38, and some of the best places to live are a long way from any motorway. That is why Westcountry Singles is organised around places. Every member picks their own town, you search by area and distance, and you never have to scroll past people who live three counties away.

Most of our members live in Devon, Somerset and Cornwall, in that order. The busiest towns are Plymouth, Exeter and Bristol, then Truro, Taunton, Barnstaple, Torquay, Bridgwater and Newton Abbot. Dorset, Bath and the edges of Wiltshire and Gloucestershire are smaller but growing parts of the site.

Not sure which page is yours?

If you live between two places, pick the one you would rather drive to on a weeknight. Someone in Okehampton might choose Exeter, while someone in Saltash is as likely to choose Plymouth as Truro. Once you join you can widen or narrow your search whenever you like, so the choice is never final. If you live out in the country, away from all of these, our country dating page is the one to read, and singles near me explains how local search works on the site.

Living in Wiltshire or Gloucestershire?

There are members in Wiltshire and Gloucestershire too. If you live in Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge or Cheltenham, join and include Bath or Bristol in your search to see singles on both sides of the county line. People over 40 across all of these places can also try our sister site, Mature Westcountry Singles.
