Answer 1

Depends on how far you need to travel. They are quite different and it would also depend on the time of the year.

The Isle of Wight is nice for seaside scenery and has a sort of tropical feel on the south side - even some palm trees. Easy to get around if you have a car and can be explored in a weekend.

The Lake District might be nice for a short break if you are fairly close, but it's likely to be a bit cold and wet; very peaceful and scenic, though. A weekend may not be long enough.
