Around Barnard Castle.
Barnard Castle is a Teesdale market town with a ruined castle above the Tees and the French-château-style Bowes Museum. It serves a wide farming area, and visitors come for the museum and the dale. Customers are often rural and value personal service. A Barnard Castle business should name Startforth, Cotherstone and Staindrop, and trades should show experience with stone properties.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Bishop Auckland (12 miles), Shildon (12 miles), Wolsingham (13 miles) and Crook (13 miles). A longer drive takes in Richmond (12 miles) and Colburn (15 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Startforth, Cotherstone, Staindrop, Gainford, Bowes and Middleton-in-Teesdale: if you work in particular parts of Barnard Castle, those names belong on the site.
