And the East Midlands ranked fourth with 45 per cent - way London and the southern areas which dominate the end of the list.
All those on the hunt for romantic men have now got an indication of where they can be found, following the release of the results of a national poll that has revealed the most and least romantic regions.
The team at diamond jewellery brand Vashi, www.vashi.com, conducted the poll as part of ongoing research into British relationships. 2,630 British women took part in the survey, all of whom were aged 18 or over and had been in a relationship for a minimum of 12 months. There was an even split of respondents from the various regions of the UK.

Hide AdVashi Dominguez of www.vashi.com said on the findings: “We were interested to see the trends and variations between different UK regions and find out where in the UK men are most romantic. Men in Wales and London could clearly take some lessons from those in Yorkshire & Humberside and the Scottish. There are some lucky ladies living up there!
“We were particularly surprised to see that more than half of women think men are more romantic than they are; that’s one for the books. I think a lot of us expect British men to be hapless and unlucky in love, perhaps a little clumsy and certainly with a stiff upper lip; with other European men getting more of a reputation for being romantic, such as the French and Italians. This is really turning those tables and showcasing just how romantic British men are... providing you go to the right places that is!”
