The area around Coleford.

Coleford is a market town in the western Forest of Dean, close to the Wye Valley, with Clearwell Caves and Puzzlewood among the attractions that draw visitors. Free mining and forestry are part of its heritage. The town serves a scattered area of Forest villages. A Coleford business should list those villages and, for hospitality, make the most of visitors exploring the Forest and Wye Valley.

Inside Forest of Dean, the closest places are Cinderford (5 miles), Lydney (6 miles), Mitcheldean (7 miles) and Newent (13 miles). Just over the council boundary, Monmouth (4 miles) and Ross-on-Wye (8 miles) are close by. Further out, Chepstow (11 miles) and Thornbury (13 miles) are within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.

Within Coleford itself, we build for businesses in Berry Hill, Broadwell, Milkwall, Clearwell, Christchurch, Sling, Bream and Staunton.

Coleford (postcode area GL) sits about 84 miles north-east of Exeter.

Questions

Questions from Coleford businesses

Do you work with businesses in Coleford?
Yes. We are based in Exeter, about 84 miles away, and build websites for businesses across the UK by phone, WhatsApp and video call. You see and approve the design before anything goes live, with two rounds of changes included.
Are there business figures for Coleford on its own?

What if I work across Coleford and nearby towns?
