Leek and the places nearby.

Known as the Queen of the Moorlands, Leek is a stone-built market town that made its name in silk and dyeing, and its old mills and terraces still define the streets. It sits right on the edge of the Peak District, with the Roaches and Tittesworth close by, so walkers and antiques hunters add to a loyal resident base. Customers here value someone who knows the moorland villages as well as the town, and older stone properties mean trades should show experience with damp, roofing and sympathetic repairs.

Biddulph (6 miles) and Cheadle (8 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Elsewhere in Staffordshire, Kidsgrove (9 miles) is within reach. Across the boundary into the next council area, Burslem (8 miles), Stoke-on-Trent (9 miles), Congleton (9 miles) and Fenton (9 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.

Inside Leek, the site can name areas such as Ball Haye Green, Cheddleton, Rudyard, Longsdon, Meerbrook and Upperhulme.

Leek (postcode area ST) sits about 177 miles north of Exeter.
