The area around Bishop Auckland.
Bishop Auckland was for centuries home to the Prince Bishops of Durham, and Auckland Castle is now at the centre of a major arts and heritage regeneration. The town also has deep coal-mining roots, with former pit villages all around it. Visitors to the galleries and the Kynren outdoor show are bringing new hospitality demand, while residents want dependable, fairly priced trades. A website that names the surrounding villages and the town's estates will serve both markets better than a generic County Durham pitch.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Shildon (2 miles), Spennymoor (4 miles), Crook (4 miles) and Ferryhill (5 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Bishop Auckland, the site can name areas such as Coundon, Woodhouse Close, Henknowle, West Auckland, St Helen Auckland, Escomb and Toronto.
Bishop Auckland (postcode area DL) sits about 283 miles north of Exeter.
