Ideas for solo break

Knackered single parent here! I’ve got the rare chance of a couple of days off in early June and I’m thinking of booking a break, just for me, for a few days. Lockdown and homeschool recovery! Would love any ideas?
Spa type stuff maybe but will be just me so I don’t really want to sit in a hotel restaurant in the evenings, staring at couples. A walking type group thing might be good but they all seem to be at least 5 days long or more.
Basically want to relax, read, swim maybe, walk, get some fresh air. UK only. Not too fussed about a city break/London but open to all ideas!

Hathersage has a lido and lovely walking. Lots of cafes to potter around too.

I normally go walking by myself for my alone time. I tend to stay at youth hostels as you meet like-minded people and it’s easier to get a single room.

For future breaks I’d recommend YogaHikes (does what it says on that tin). The trips are Friday evening to late Sunday afternoon. But their only June one has sold out.

I had a lovely break in Cambridge a few years ago. I loved browsing round all the bookshops and other small, independent shops, and I was spoilt for choice by nice cafes and tea rooms! I did a couple of boat trips, visited the Botanical Gardens and had a few treatments at The Glassworks spa. There’s a lovely walk along the Backs to Grantchester where there are a few places to eat. I chose The Orchard Tea Garden which was beautiful.
