The area around Barnstaple.
Barnstaple is the main town of north Devon, an old market and river port on the Taw with a historic pannier market and Butchers Row at its centre. It serves a wide rural and coastal hinterland, including surfing villages like Croyde and Braunton, so the local economy mixes farming, public services and tourism. Customers may be spread over a large area, and tradespeople often cover long distances. A website that clearly states coverage, naming Braunton, Fremington and Bishop's Tawton, helps set expectations and catch enquiries.
Inside North Devon, the closest places are Ilfracombe (9 miles) and South Molton (11 miles). Elsewhere in Devon: Northam (7 miles), Bideford (8 miles), Great Torrington (10 miles) and North Tawton (21 miles). Further out, Dulverton (22 miles) is within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Within Barnstaple itself, we build for businesses in Pilton, Newport, Roundswell, Sticklepath, Fremington, Braunton and Bishop's Tawton.
Barnstaple (postcode area EX) sits about 34 miles north-west of Exeter.
