The area around Fordwich.
Fordwich is often called the smallest town in Britain, a cluster of old houses and a tiny timber-framed town hall on the Stour just outside Canterbury, which it once served as a port. It is far too small to be a market on its own. A business based here really serves Sturry, Westbere and Canterbury, and its website should say so. Visitors come for the riverside and the pub, so hospitality benefits from clear directions and opening hours for people who have never been.
Canterbury (2 miles) is the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in Kent, Sandwich (9 miles), Faversham (10 miles), Margate (13 miles) and Deal (13 miles) are within reach. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Sturry, Westbere, Hersden, Littlebourne and Canterbury: if you work in particular parts of Fordwich, those names belong on the site.
Fordwich addresses fall in the CT postcode area, about 206 miles east of Exeter, where we are based.
