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

It's sensational. They sell two food options (pie, and potato pie), the home-brew cider is delicious and deadly, at the end of every night everyone still standing gets a tot of their choice on the house and there's a fossil museum attached with some awful taxidermy and most of the fossils labelled as 'dinosaur penis'.

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.
