Ashbourne and the places nearby.

Ashbourne is the southern gateway to the Peak District, famous for its riotous Royal Shrovetide football match played across the town and for the start of the Tissington Trail. It has a handsome Georgian centre, a strong independent high street and a large rural catchment of farms and villages. Walkers and cyclists bring visitor trade to cafés and shops, while trades cover a wide area. A site that names Clifton, Mayfield and Tissington helps reach the rural work.

Inside Derbyshire Dales, the closest places are Wirksworth (8 miles), Matlock (11 miles) and Darley Dale (12 miles). Elsewhere in Derbyshire: Belper (10 miles). Just over the council boundary, Uttoxeter (10 miles) is close by. Further out, Cheadle (11 miles), Derby (12 miles) and Leek (13 miles) are within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Clifton, Mayfield, Tissington, Sturston, Osmaston and Fenny Bentley: if you work in particular parts of Ashbourne, those names belong on the site.

From our base in Exeter, Ashbourne is about 176 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start DE.

Questions

Questions from Ashbourne businesses

Can you build a website for a Ashbourne business?
Yes, remotely. We work from Exeter, 176 miles from Ashbourne, and the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call. Nothing goes live until you have approved the design, and two rounds of changes are included.
Are there business figures for Ashbourne on its own?
Not from the ONS, which counts businesses for Derbyshire Dales as a whole. Ashbourne is one of 5 towns on this site in that council area, so the numbers above are shared with places like Matlock and Bakewell.
Where is Ashbourne in relation to Exeter?
About 176 miles as the crow flies: Ashbourne is north-east of Exeter, in the DE postcode area. Nobody needs to travel: the whole job runs by phone, WhatsApp and video call.
Do you cover the towns around Ashbourne?
Yes. We work anywhere in the UK, so Wirksworth, Uttoxeter, Belper and Cheadle are all covered. If your jobs come from several of them, the site names each one you serve, so people there can see you come to them.
