Ideas on where to go for 2 night mid week break

[roundandrounditgoes1234]

Looking for ideas no more than 2.5 hours from london for a 2 night break in the next couple of weeks. dh and me only - would like to do some walking, relaxing (not a spa) peopl watching with a drink in hand and have some good food to escape the city for a couple of nights. Any ideas somewhere that won’t be swamped by tourists but lovely !

Brockenhurst in the New Forest
Lewes in East Sussex
Arundel on the edge of the South Downs

Rye has lovely hotels and great walking.
hastings I like a lot, quirky and sea breeze.
bath, lot of tourists though, but some nice walks.
winchester, great food and pubs, walking nea4 by, lots of history.

I just had a lovely two night stay at Lainstone Manor near Winchester. We did three good local days out and really enjoyed the fabulous food. One restaurant is a new addition in the kitchen garden and the other one is posher and in the Manor House. The bedrooms and bathrooms are beautiful.

Try one of the Pig Hotels.
