The picture they use on homepage for the article is of a small village called Kenmore in Scotland, which I know because I visit it every year, recognised the picture straight away. Because of this I decide to look at the article and Kenmore is not even mentioned. Don't use the picture if you're not going to mention this beautiful village!

So everybody voted for towns only south apart from Edinburg and the peak district... slightly bias towards the south me thinks.

no southern bias then, did all 12,000 twitter fans live south of watford gap

What a load of old Tosh, Cheltenham, please..... Wales, Scotland ,N.  Ireland boast far more attractive towns "best of British" I don’t think so...... cant believe this even reached the public domain. laughable

Ref: picture of Marlborough. This is actually a photo of Bleinham Palace in Woodstock, Oxfordshire where the Duke of Marlborough resides, it is is not Marlborough itself!! It is about an hour or so away.

Marlborough is lovely but there isn't such a grand palace there. I thought I ought to let the editor know!

Alanna thank you for the information I too only viewed the pictures because I wanted to know where the 'homepage picture' was. VERY disappointing to find out it was not even mentioned!!!! Get your act together MSN!!

Should correctly be titled 'Best English winter towns' as there was only one outside of England

No mention of the lovely towns, villages, and coastal walks on the Isle of Wight. Pity.....I'll just have to keep it all to myself...especially that fabulous Sunday lunch at The Griffin in Godshill!

Unfortunately, it`s cheaper and more beneficial to go abroad and has been for a long time now, when you consider the prices in Rip-off Britain and the weather. When you think about it you pay tax or VAT on every aspect of your life. I work and pay tax, when I buy tools and clothes needed for my  work  I pay VAT, go to and from work and pay VAT on bus fares, if I buy lunch, a newspaper,  more VAT.  Why is it that for every day essentials, we are taxed to the hilt? If only we could reclaim it on expenses as our esteemed Members of Parliament do so steadfastly.

Agree with icky micky, but then again it is grim up North. Seriously a far more geographical mix would have been more enjoyable to read, not the views of these tweeters. Also think a better pic could have been posted for Evershot, a signpost come on.

Don't forget that extra quarter! When a 1/2 is just not accurate enough, 3/4 of a mile accuracy is so much better when walking in the snow to the nearest salvation, usually a pub, on a cold winters' night!
