Lock away for how long? 
There are fixed rate bonds are various lengths if you look on the main website, but you won’t be able to get your hands on it in the interim if needed.

A Branch-based ISA at a Buidling Society might also work - if you have to go into the branch to withdraw cash, this usually acts a deterent to random withdrawals.

If you really want to lock it away, most fixed rate accounts do not allow early access. Have a look here, I've shown 5 year fixes but others are listed too:

There are also notice accounts, which stop you accessing money instantly, as you have to give notice to do so. Again they are listed on moneyfacts.
