I'll be in the UK in a couple weeks and was wanting to do some sport climbing (mostly in Peak District but open to other beautiful suggestions). Does any have any recommendations of places to go and good crags? Thanks!

What grade do you climb?

Comfortably up to 10d outdoors, but with a lot of determination, falling, and cursing, I've climbed up to 11b :). So it's nice to have a range.

I have done a bunch of climbing and bouldering in Northumberland, northeast part of England, close to the Scottish border when I used to travel to the region for work.

Further north into Scotland there are multiple sport climbing crags that are worth the drive.

Best to hook up with a local to show you around.

I'm sorry to say that most of the sports climbing in the Peak is very poor if it is under 5.12.

The trad however is fab, so get on the gritstone.
