Hybrid(?) bike recommendations

Budget of about £500 but I can stretch it a bit. Definitely going to go to a shop but I’d like to go in with some idea what I’m talking about.

I'm 5ft 3. I want it to use for leisure on dirt and gravel paths, cycle paths, along the canals... I won’t ever use it on the roads.

I’ve been looking at hybrids without suspension but I have no idea what the difference is between them all or if they're all much of a muchness at my budget and the best one is whatever fits me best.

Does anybody have any recommendations what I should be looking for in a bike or specific bikes that'd be worth looking at? Thanks :)

I have a Trex fx2 ladies bike, the small sized frame would probably be right for you. It also comes in a version with light front suspension.
My other short list option when I bought it was a boardman HYB8.6 which is £600 without suspension.
