The area around Ashington.
Ashington grew as a coal-mining town in south-east Northumberland and still carries that close-knit working identity, with long rows of colliery terraces and strong family ties. The local economy is more modest than in the Tyne Valley towns, and customers pay close attention to price and recommendations. Neighbouring places such as Newbiggin and Bedlington are part of the same everyday market. A website that is plain, prices clearly and names the nearby towns and pit villages it covers will do better here than a glossy regional pitch.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Newbiggin-by-the-Sea (2 miles), Bedlington (4 miles), Blyth (5 miles) and Morpeth (5 miles). A longer drive takes in Tynemouth (13 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Within Ashington itself, we build for businesses in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, Bedlington, Lynemouth, Hirst, Guide Post and Pegswood.
Ashington (postcode area NE) sits about 319 miles north of Exeter.
