Hello! I am visiting some friends in the Lake District in early May. I will have 5 days/6 nights were I am renting a car and will be traveling out of the Lake District. I am looking at 3 options for those days:
-Bamburgh/ Farne Islands
-Snowdonia Park + northern wales coastline
-SW Scotland - Isle of Arran or Isle of Mull, Oban, Loch Lamond, potentially Glenoce.. Isle of Skye is too far
Also any must sees in the Lake District!!
Current itinerary is fly into London, 1 day there, train to Lake District, 2 days there, the 5/6 inerlude with car, back to Lake District for 2-3 days, train back to London, 1 more day there, fly out

The Lake District is beautiful but can be over run with tourists, especially in the summer. I guess my favorite thing there is the Grizedale Forest Sculture Trail. They have artists come and use only materials they find in the forest to create sculptures. Grizedale also has zip lining, mountain biking and hiking. Near Grizedale is Hawkshead village which has a great, traditional english pub. The village of Satterthwaite has a great old pub too called Eagles Head. These 2 villages aren't as crowded with tourists as the more popular Ambleside, Windermere or Grassmere (where Wordsworth lived).
As for Scotland, I would be visiting scotch distilleries on Islay but that's just me.
In May it will still be rainy,cold and windy so be prepared.

If you have 5/6 days free, a day or two in Edinburgh might be nice as well. Otherwise I'd visit the Scottish isles. Snowdonia and northern wales coast are nice as well, but stay near Bangor. There is a castle nearby, Conwy, and its interesting.
Do not make the mistake of going to Holyhead, it may be on the water but it is not picturesque.
