Banbury and the places nearby.

Banbury is a north Oxfordshire market town on the London–Birmingham motorway, with food manufacturing, logistics and engineering at the core of its economy and a wide rural catchment across the Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire borders. That means trades frequently travel into several counties. Customers include both town households and prosperous village homeowners, so a website should show a practical range of work and spell out the villages and county areas covered, rather than relying on the town name alone.

Inside Cherwell, the closest place is Bicester (14 miles). Elsewhere in Oxfordshire: Chipping Norton (12 miles), Charlbury (15 miles) and Woodstock (15 miles). Just over the council boundary, Brackley (8 miles) is close by. Further out, Shipston-on-Stour (12 miles), Southam (13 miles) and Buckingham (15 miles) are within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Bodicote, Grimsbury, Neithrop, Easington, Hanwell Fields and Adderbury: if you work in particular parts of Banbury, those names belong on the site.

Banbury (postcode area OX) sits about 132 miles north-east of Exeter.
