Dunno where you're based so convenience will vary, but the Peaks has some really lovely old railway line trails that whilst a bit 'family day out' give amazing views and really stress-free enjoyable cycling experience for someone who's just starting out. Plus viaducts, obv. Can obviously combine with nice lanes/climbs/bridleway stuff. Loads of good camping too.
If you want somewhere easier from London there's beautiful camping and cycling in the cotswolds (and the charmingest of pubs). South Downs is also lovely in the right bits.
Or go to Dorset and visit the best pub in UK: http://www.squareandcompasspub.co.uk/

Yeah from London, although not put off going futher afield to be fair.
We did a good ride around the national forest while staying in southampton a few weeks ago and ended hanging around on Lepe beach for an age. South downs could be a good shout for similar with added camping bonus...

Ha, my missus is always banging on about that pub. She goes there every time she goes climbing at the sea cliffs.

Thinking of doing one night of cycling / camping over the upcoming bank holiday, taking bikes in the car or we can rent bikes with new just started getting into cycling girlfriend, any recommendations of where to go?
We both have bikes that are suitable for light off-roading (gravel road type stuff) or we could just drive with camping stuff and hire MTBs if you recommend somehwere more suitable for that
