good places for a weekend in the UK

Can anyone recommend good places in the UK to go for a "weekend away", the only places I can think of is the peak and lake districts?
By the way i'm in london. Plus the northeast (newcastle and surrounding area) is out of the question as my partner, she is from there.
Thanks in advance guys

not fussed about walking, nice scenery would be nice though. Somewhere different from london. I've been to brighton many times.

Closer than some places

I thought of that, but then the hassle of getting a ferry to cover the english channel, I'd drive as it more flexible.

Just wanting suggestions so we can both agree on somewhere to go for the weekend

I'm not too fussed really about what to do, its more for my girlfriend. Was thinking of a weekend abroad was thinking of going away on the weekend of 22-24 june but flights are too expensive, can't really afford to pay £350++ just for flights and room for 2 nights. Checked on lastminute, expedia, opodo etc.
Just want loads of ideas so i can talk to her tonight after i finish work
