"District" is not an address in the UK. There's no way that any geocoder is going to be successful with that! The geocoder is doing its best with what you're giving it, and the result is actually quite good. Don't forget, the geocoder geocodes **addresses**, with street names and towns. However, I would recommend using UK instead of GB. http://maps.google.com/maps/geo?q=District,UK&output=xml does actually include the Lake District, although it's not first. I've no idea why the Lewes result is first, nor why Eastbourne District General Hospital (among others!) isn't listed along with Salisbury and York.
