Try imaginerun.com. Imagine run wants to inspire people to start walking or running. The free app creates (three) possible routes via gps based on the distance and pace you set. All routes start and end at your current location, no matter where you are. The app is navigating you, so you can’t get lost at a place you are not familiar with.

Thanks, this is the best one I've seen by far! The fact that they let you build round-trip routes is a first.

That said, the app would timeout if I tried to build a route over 15km long. Also, it doesn't seem to prefer scenic routes - it has me running on busy streets in London when there's the Thames very close by.

Although it appears you have to create an ImagineRun account to use it which means this goes straight into the "nope" bucket for me.
