Normandy is fantastic, scenic, lovely roads, rolling terrain and easy to get to, take the night ferry from Portsmouth to Caen. Getting out of Caen is easy, take the bike path right out of the ferry port to the Pegasus bridge, turn left...
I've got a whole bunch of mapped out routes if you're interested.

Looking at mini tours from London that are train and or ferry. 3-4 days riding, not mega distances, credit card touring - so light loaded. Did the Isle of Wight recently and that went well, so maybe try further afield.
So far, have come up with..
Cherbourg to St Malo - about 250km, mostly greenways
https://en.tourdemanche.com has some interesting routes, could use the ferry into Portsmouth from the start and finish in France - but the schedule is very seasonal.
Amsterdam > Utrecht and then where ever time allows.
Direct train to Amsterdam then heading into the countryside, see some friends in Utrecht. The new train service is ££££. Need to wait for a sale!
Open to other ideas!
