Wondered if anyone had favorite half-day'ish bike trips they've been on.
Thanks!

Take a look at the Sustrans site, which has lots of information about safe and pleasant travel by cycle. https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/national-cycle-network

Where are you going to be based? I wouldn't recommend cycling in most UK towns and cities, as the traffic isn't very forgiving to cyclists, unless you are used to urban cycling. Few places have dedicated cycle paths.
Good half day cycling I have undertaken includes Bedgebury Pinetum in Kent and the woods around Symonds Yat on the English/Welsh border. Cycling around the reservoirs at Bewl Water in Kent and around Rutland Water in the Midlands are great half day trips. All are off-road on dedicated cycle paths. There is a cycle path along the seafront around Brighton if you wanted to be on the coast.
