Cornwall/Devon are murder on your knees riding fixed, and I think the gear you'd need to get up the hills generally would be frustratingly spinny when you're on the flat. Plus there are some beautiful descents in Yorkshire and Scotland that wouldn't be so much fun fixed.
But I'm sure someone has done it and loved it, I just can't really get my head around it. (I did consider doing it fixed when I did it, and was very glad I didn't in the end)

I did 1000 miles in 9 days Glasgow to Portsmouth a couple years ago fixed. It was hard and the last couple of days was very painful with achilles tendon issues which I'd never had before. It's not the uphills which were the problem it was the long spinny downhills that killed me.
I think the last 40 miles from the Scottish border to Newcastle was all downhill at least that how it felt.
