With the UK in the grip of a winter cold snap at present, many areas of the country are covered with snow and ice, with some of us getting a white Christmas as a result. But even after the weather has warmed up a bit, there are towns and street names around the country which remind us of the winter season, here are just a few ‘Cold Towns’ from around the UK:
Many are smaller villages that you’ll find yourself passing through on the way to larger attractions in the South West of the UK, including Coldwind in Cornwall. There are several in Devon; Frost, Chillington and Icy Park.
In Bristol you’ll find the village of Winterbourne, famous for its 12th Century church is also where Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling spent part of her childhood.
