Around Kirkby Stephen.
Kirkby Stephen is a market town in the upper Eden valley, on the Settle to Carlisle railway and the Coast to Coast walk, with the Nine Standards cairns on the fell above. Farming is the backbone of the area, and walkers add seasonal trade for pubs, cafés and bed and breakfasts. Distances between jobs are long and many houses are old stone. Trades should say how far they travel and name Brough, Ravenstonedale and Nateby.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Appleby-in-Westmorland (9 miles), Sedbergh (13 miles), Kendal (19 miles) and Penrith (21 miles). A longer drive takes in Barnard Castle (18 miles) and Stanhope (23 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Brough, Nateby, Winton, Ravenstonedale, Soulby and Hartley: if you work in particular parts of Kirkby Stephen, those names belong on the site.
