Sports travel insurance specialists at SportsCover Direct analysed the distance between the top 25 major city centres to winter sports activity centres - dry ski slopes and ice rinks.

Bradford was revealed to be the best city to visit if you want to be close to multiple winter sports centres, with the closest ice rink being right in the city centre.

Edinburgh, Birmingham, Glasgow, and Coventry are the other cities in the top five.
