The area around Chesterfield.
Chesterfield is a market town known instantly for the crooked spire on its parish church, with one of the larger open-air markets in England and a history of coal mining and engineering around it. It is also a gateway to the Peak District, which brings some visitor trade to the centre. The housing spans old terraces, former pit villages and more comfortable areas to the west towards the hills. Trades do well by naming districts such as Brampton, Walton and Brimington, and hospitality businesses should cater to day visitors heading for the Peak.
Closest to Chesterfield within the Chesterfield council area: Staveley (4 miles). Elsewhere in Derbyshire: Clay Cross (5 miles), Dronfield (5 miles), Bolsover (6 miles) and Darley Dale (8 miles). It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Brampton, Walton, Brimington, Newbold, Hasland, Whittington Moor and Old Whittington: if you work in particular parts of Chesterfield, those names belong on the site.
Chesterfield (postcode area S) sits about 195 miles north-east of Exeter.
