The area around Cockermouth.
Cockermouth is an attractive Georgian market town where the Cocker meets the Derwent, known as Wordsworth's birthplace and home to Jennings Brewery. It sits on the edge of the Lake District and is popular with families and people working at Sellafield or in west Cumbria. The town has suffered serious floods, making flood resilience and restoration work important. Customers value local expertise and trust, and a website should name the surrounding villages such as Papcastle and Brigham.
Maryport (6 miles), Workington (8 miles), Keswick (10 miles) and Cleator Moor (12 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Papcastle, Brigham, Great Broughton, Eaglesfield, Dovenby and Lorton: if you work in particular parts of Cockermouth, those names belong on the site.
Cockermouth (postcode area CA) sits about 272 miles north of Exeter.
