WELCOME to the second escape... of the year. Of course, being February, there is more than just a hint of romance in this month's issue.

We sent one young couple to Paris, a city synonymous with romance, and take a look at some of the most romantic places to stay at home and abroad.

The gritty Scottish city of Glasgow reveals its tender side of art and culture, and we uncover an American destination which is a must for horse lovers.

On top of all this, and with our regular look at the best late deals around, we have teamed up with P&O Ferries to offer a fantastic reader competition.

See below for details on how to enter for the chance to win one of three return ferry crossings to France.
