Some of it depends on the time of year.

I really like Bath and Brighton, however.

Actually not very cold on land because the sea keeps it reasonably warm -
hardly ever gets a ground frost down there. But the sea is always too cold
for bathing :-)

If you want to see the decaying remains of the industrial revolution
complete with 19th century buildings and attitudes, why not visit Burnley in
Lancashire. Still an authentic desolation of time and place...
