Actual English person speaking here.
You want to go to the West Country. Wales and Scottish aren't English, the north has lest tourists but is also depressing and boring where the "community spirit" is based on romanticising suffering and a shared victim mentality.

The West Country has no major airports and terrible rail links. This means most international explorers don't head that way, OR only go on a tour bus to see Stonehenge and don't leave their containment zone. Devon, Somerset, Dorset, all are charming, and have a reputation for being inbred and isolated- which I think is the type of place you might be looking for. A lot of farmers and quaint villages.
Cornwall is also lovely BUT gets a lot of internal tourism.
The true soul of the UK is in the countryside, the cities have a fairly globohomo personality with differing flavours of "hip" (Bristol) or "trad" (Oxford), the same dynamics can be found everywhere in Europe.
