[QUOTE=Machka;5538289Otherwise, for 7-10 days, a relatively inexpensive trip would be to fly to London (Heathrow) and do a bit of cycling around England.[/QUOTE]

British Airways has a non-stop from DIA to London Heathrow, the fares seem to drop quite a bit when the big ski resorts close and jump back up June 1. They're one of the last airlines to take bicycles for free.

Fly into London, take a train to Wales, cycle the Lon Las Cymru (Welsh National Cycle Route) between Cardiff and Holyhead, train back and fly home. Probably more hostels than camping, but it's an excellent route.
