Re: [GWL]: Cotswolds Zone

There is no such thing as a USDA-type map for the UK, partly because 
in Briatan the climate so is so uniform (compared to the US) that 
there is thought to be no need.

For historical thirty-year climatic statistics for different parts of 
Britain, go to

and click on the individual weather stations marked.
