Cornwall is a lovely historic town located within New York's Hudson Highlands, dating back to the state's colonial era in the mid-17th century.

Today, the charming town is a top romantic getaway destination for New York area couples, located just an hour outside Manhattan's downtown district. Couples can peruse the exhibits of the acclaimed Storm King Art Center, which stands in the shadows of imposing Storm King Mountain.

Stunning views of the surrounding Hudson River region are offered atop the mountain's summit, including views of nearby Newburgh Bay and Bannerman's Island. Couples traveling with children in tow can explore the lively Hudson Highlands Nature Museum Outdoor Discovery Center, which is home to family-friendly walking trails and play areas.

The city's lively Main Street district is home to a plethora of romantic dining options, as well as charming art galleries and boutiques.

Nearby, the former 100-acre farmstead of the Shops at Jones Farm offers rustic shopping experiences and serves up famed apple cider and pies throughout the year.
