There's only one route to ride and that's your own.
When I did LEJOG I'd purchased the CTC LEJOG pack with three suggested routes and bought a LEJOG book with its own suggested route. In the end I ignored the CTC's and the book's suggestions and used a felt tip and a Philip's motorists atlas to plut a route that incorporated places that I wanted to visit such as the beam engine at Levant in Cornwall, the cycle museum at Camelford, Cheddar Gorge, the Older Severn Bridge, Hereford cathedral for the Mappa Munday, Ludlow, Shrewsbury, through NW conurbation onto Preston through Lake District past Windermere and Grasmere, Carlisle, Gretna, Thornhill, Erskine Bridge, A82 past Loch Lomond, Fort William, Inverness, east coast, Wick JOG. There's lots of opportunity to fill in the gaps in different ways and making the ride your own.
There's more routes than you can shake a stick at here:

There's nothing to be afraid of in terms of hills. Devon and Cornwall's lumps are all manageable with suitable gearing. My bottom gear was 18" but I rarely had to use it.
