So I'm looking to take a short break (3 days) around October to unwind and looking for suggestions on where to go.
Requirements:
- Maximum 3 hours car journey from south Leicestershire. Ideally shorter.
- Sight seeing/short walks (but not too rural as I don't have all the 'kit') during the day.
- Cafes/Restaurants/Bars/Pubs to eat out.
Two random suggestions I thought of were Hay-on-Wye and Malverns. Are they good options? Any other ideas?

Both those are good options.
Wye Valley around Ross on Wye/Symonds Yat are spectacular in Autumn.
Forest of Dean and the Cotswolds also worth a look.
Derbyshire Dales aren't too far.1 -
The New Forest is predictably colourful in Autumn.

York
Boat trips, museums, open top bus rides, bike hire, river walks, parks, independent shops, loads of places to eat out ....0 -
Norwich with the Norfolk Broads nearby and some great coastal towns and villages to the North0

From mid October the Acers at the National Arboretum Westonbirt Arboretum are spectacular. https://www.forestryengland.uk/westonbirt-the-national-arboretum
Which reminds me to book a visit- thank you OP 😊1 -
The New Forest is lovely but I don't think you could drive from Leicestershire in three hours.How about the east coast, Aldborough possibly?0

York would be my top choice. Plenty to do irrespective of the weather.

Ross rather than Hay on Wye as a bit more going on .
