The area around Castleford.
Castleford is a former coal-mining town where the Aire and Calder meet, now reshaped around large retail and leisure developments by the motorway, and fiercely proud of its rugby league club. The housing stock is largely terraces and ex-mining estates, with newer building on the edges. Customers here value straight talking and local recommendation. Castleford sits in a tight cluster with Pontefract and Normanton, and a website that covers those towns explicitly will pick up searches a Castleford-only page misses.
Inside Wakefield, the closest places are Pontefract (3 miles), Normanton (3 miles), Featherstone (4 miles) and Wakefield (7 miles). Just over the council boundary, Rothwell (5 miles) and Leeds (10 miles) are close by. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
Inside Castleford, the site can name areas such as Glasshoughton, Airedale, Whitwood, Allerton Bywater, Pontefract and Normanton.
Castleford (postcode area WF) sits about 227 miles north-east of Exeter.
