I'm off to parts of Europe and UK in August for two months. Here are a couple of the things I've found in web research, mainly concentrating on the UK:

North Sea Cycle Route
http://www.northsea-cycle.com/lande_index.html
The huge map they publish is a bit better than the website in some respects, but you have to get it from Europe (and mine's borrowed). Covers a coastal route on the North Sea through the UK, Scandinavia and so on.

Cycle 'N' Sleep Routes
http://www.cycle-n-sleep.co.uk/home.shtml
This links in to the North Sea Route on the east coast of the UK, but there are others across the south and up the west coasts.

Sustrans
http://www.sustrans.org.uk/webcode/defaultmap.asp?
Sustrans is a creator/conservator of a major network, that includes parts of the North Sea and Cycle 'N' Sleep routes.

This is a comprehensive resouces links page for cycle touring in Europe. You may find something useful there.

Touring.phred
http://search.bikelist.org/
You can lurk, or subscribe and ask the same question there, and you will get very knowledgable, current and useful advice.

Crazy Guy on Bike

Neil Gunton's website has become the repository of some excellent, mediocre and well... travelogues, but it also has plenty of good stuff to read on touring generally. His own trans-America story is a hoot. There's also another excellent travelogue in Europe titled, IIRC, I'm not a German.

Good luck.
