Around Chester.
Chester trades heavily on its Roman walls, the medieval Rows and a busy racecourse, so visitors are a constant part of the city-centre economy. Around it sits a comfortable residential market, and the Welsh border runs just to the west, meaning many businesses serve customers on both sides of it. Being explicit that you cover Flintshire as well as Chester can open up a market competitors ignore, and period property inside the walls rewards trades who show they can handle it.
Ellesmere Port (6 miles), Frodsham (10 miles) and Neston (10 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Shotton (6 miles), Connah's Quay (7 miles) and Buckley (8 miles) are also close. A longer drive takes in Bebington (10 miles) and Mold (11 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Hoole, Handbridge, Boughton, Upton, Blacon and Christleton: if you work in particular parts of Chester, those names belong on the site.
Chester addresses fall in the CH postcode area, about 173 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
