The area around Clitheroe.

Clitheroe is the Ribble Valley's market town, gathered around a small Norman castle keep with Pendle Hill and the Forest of Bowland close by. It is a prosperous area with a strong food culture, good independent shops and a steady flow of walkers and day visitors. Customers in the surrounding villages often have large older homes and high expectations. A local business should look as polished as the town's better independents and make its coverage of Whalley and the villages obvious.

Inside Ribble Valley, the closest place is Longridge (9 miles). Elsewhere in Lancashire: Padiham (6 miles), Brierfield (7 miles), Nelson (7 miles) and Burnley (8 miles). A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Inside Clitheroe, the site can name areas such as Whalley, Chatburn, Waddington, Barrow, Low Moor, Sabden, Grindleton and Pendleton.

Clitheroe addresses fall in the BB postcode area, about 223 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
