I am surprised nobody mentions the GR footpaths. These, also known as Grande Randonnée is network of footpaths covering at least the Benelux, France, Spain and Portugal.

Following them is made easy by simple markers such as the one shown above.

Consider El Camino De Santiago (in Spain) as this may be close to the 5-7 day walk you are asking for.
Two sites to look at:
Most hikes in Britain can be done in parts, since you are never far from an access point. Consider some part of:
From personal experience, I suggest you consider the first half of the UK Coast to Coast hike. From St. Bees to Kirkby Steven, or if you have more time and energy, from St. Bees to Richmond. The first half is more scenic and hilly than the second half.
There is loads of information about this hike on the internet. You can see some of my pictures here.
You could consider walking along the Hadrian’s Wall. It’s 84 miles long, so about 135 km long. I haven’t actually done the walk myself, but I imagine that the beginning and end might be a bit densely populated for you liking, but I think you should enjoy the middle bit.
Another idea in the UK would be the South Western Coast Path – the web site offers a few ideas. I did this walk: http://www.southwestcoastpath.com/multi-day-trips/short-breaks/5-7-day-breaks/st-ives-penzance/ and I enjoyed it a lot (it took 4 days). You can extend it in any direction.
