Had to edit a little, my first answer might have been little vague....
Most likely we will flight to and from London (non-stop flights are always a pro in my list 
)
I like history and nature, and I am huge fan of Emmerdale (the tv series) so some castles/ ruins would be nice to see and I think my travel companion would be most excited of the pub culture 
What is our original goal is to rent a car and practice little to drive on the "wrong side" of the road feedbacks and suggestions are always welcome!

Lol! Well enjoy the driving!
Unless your goal is the London sights (don't try to use a car there, obviously!) I'd say head North.
For historic cities try Lincoln, York, Durham. Stratford-upon-Avon is on a lot of visitors' list because of Shakespeare connections but I don't really know it. Or Bristol is vibrant and fun, some history but not the olde worlde architecture like the others.
For scenery I highly recommend the Lake District. Very accessible mountain walks, forests, waterfalls, lakes, on a compact scale.
North Wales is also scenic and full of culture, lots of steam trains, industrial architecture, and the epicenter of Welsh language culture.
Depends if it's your first visit or if you want oddball suggestions for when you've seen the big sights! Lots of little stuff around that's probably not worth making a primary destination but worthwhile to see en route.
And when you say England, have you been to Scotland? The west Highlands are great.
Just saw your update...
Emmerdale, so yes the Yorkshire Dales have lots of nice stuff. Not sure exactly where in North Yorkshire they film. Nice pubs in most villages. The notable sights are Malham Cove limestone pavement and the Ingleton waterfalls walk.
Castles. Hmm. Lincoln, Warwick, Caernarfon in North Wales, Alnwick if you like Harry Potter films. Loads of smaller ones.
If you want an interesting pub and find yourself in York, look for the House of the Trembling Madness.
'Emmerdale' was originally filmed in Arncliffe in Littondale then moved to Esholt, near Shipley. They use/used Otley (a very nice little market town) as 'Hotton'.
Nowadays they mostly shoot in a purpose-built 'village' in the Harewood Estate. Fingers crossed, they'll re-start tours around that set and re-open the Emmerdale Studio Experience once things get back to normal/normalish.

PS I've never, ever watched 'Emmerdale'. I just know lots of weird stuff........ ;-)
We absolutely loved the Yorkshire Dales and Andy's right. If you can get into Scotland, it's wonderful. We spent the night on Lindisfarne (Holy) Island and driving across to our rental, we cut through Scotland just for fun. It was one of the highlights of the trip. We'd been to Scotland and knew we liked it, but were surprised at the contrast just a few miles apart.

London might not be the best place to practice driving 
There came a lot of good suggestions, I will have to look more in to them to be able to make a possible route Little bit of history and little bit of nature would be great combo I do like Harry Potter and also waterfalls...:D

No I haven't but it is definitely on my radar, might be best to left that on to its own trip thought, I think my couple of weeks of holiday will be to much of an hassle if I try to cram too much in to it

As I said before there might be too much if I cram Scotland in to the route too but I would absolutely love to visit there!
You'd be wise to leave Scotland for a separate trip, as two weeks isn't long. I echo comments about the Yorkshire Dales and personally I'd stick to the east side of the country rather than go west to the Lake District, which is beautiful but can get busy. I second Sally's recommendation re Holy Island (aka Lindisfarne) and the whole of the Northumberland Coast is wonderful. If you're looking for history / ruins / castles it's perfect - Hadrian's Wall and the Roman forts, castles like Bamburgh, Dunstanburgh (my favourite), Warkworth, Alnwick. The latter is where many Harry Potter scenes were shot, if that's of interest?
A good but busy tour could be to have a couple of days in London at the start, then pick up your hire car (I would recommend in the suburbs or at Heathrow, not in the centre of town), drive north and overnight (or better, two) in York, spend a few nights in the Dales, then go further north for a few more in Northumberland, then back to London with, if you can manage to fit it in, an overnight en route at either Newcastle or Durham, and a final night in London before flying home.
And of course if you're in London t would be fun to meet
