Default USDA zone map for UK - for comparison of climate, where to find?

Anyone know where I might be able to find (online, hopefully) something
like a USDA zone map of the UK? I'd like to have a comparison of
climates, in case I do some seed trading and such, so that I can be
knowledgeable about what might do well in various locales. Everything
I have is based on USDA zone maps, showing hardiness from zone 1 (very
cold) to zone 11. (subtropical) Here in Southwest Ohio, we are right
on the verge of being 5b or 6a, which means that in a typical winter,
we get down to 10 below zero Fahrenheit. Some years we only get down
to zero, but every 5 to 10 years, we might get down to 15 below.
