Around Holywood.
Holywood sits on the County Down shore of Belfast Lough, a well-off town with a maypole in the middle of its high street and a cluster of cafés, restaurants and boutiques. Rory McIlroy grew up here, and the Ulster Folk Museum lies just along the road at Cultra, where some of the largest houses in Northern Ireland look over the water. Customers are often professionals who expect polish and quick replies, so a trade should show finished work properly and name Cultra and Craigavad directly.
Closest to Holywood within Ards and North Down: Newtownards (6 miles) and Bangor, County Down (7 miles). Just over the council boundary, Newtownabbey (4 miles), Belfast (5 miles) and Carrickfergus (5 miles) are close by. Further out, Lisburn (12 miles), Larne (15 miles) and Antrim (16 miles) are within commuting distance. It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
Cultra, Craigavad, Knocknagoney, Marino, Redburn and Seahill: if you work in particular parts of Holywood, those names belong on the site.
