Bedford

Kempston and the places nearby.

Kempston sits immediately south-west of Bedford, a large town in its own right with an industrial past and a broad mix of terraces, post-war estates and newer homes. Growth continues close by at Wixams and Great Denham, bringing in families who commute or work locally. Many customers here run busy households and search online. Kempston residents do not always think of themselves as Bedford, so a site that names Kempston, Wootton and Wixams directly captures local work.

Bedford (2 miles) and Wixams (2 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Ampthill (6 miles), Flitwick (8 miles), Shefford (9 miles) and Olney (9 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

Kempston Hardwick, Kempston Rural, Wootton, Great Denham, Wixams and Elstow: if you work in particular parts of Kempston, those names belong on the site.

From our base in Exeter, Kempston is about 162 miles to the north-east. Its postcodes start MK.
