If you're in the UK for only a short period, I'd certainly recommend the Peak Grit and the Southern Limestone (I was born and raised in Sheffield), North Wales round Llanberis, Tremadoc and Gogarth. South Wales - Pembroke is also worthy of a visit, but to be honest the Lakes climbing is not in the same league which is a shame as it's the nicest part of England!
It gets a lot of rain, there are some great climbs on great cliffs (Borrowdale, Sca-Fell, the Napes) but classic routes are not in such concentration as in the other areas. It also is one of those tourist areas that's been loved to death and on warm summer weekends, the narrow country lanes are packed solid on a scale not seen in Australia. If you fancy a bit of hill walking it's unbeatable though.
