Longtown and the places nearby.
Longtown is a small border town on the River Esk, just short of Scotland, with a big livestock auction mart that draws farmers from both sides of the border. Its wide main street was laid out as a planned town, and Arthuret Church stands just outside. Farming and a large MOD depot shape the local economy. Customers are practical and loyal, so a site that names Arthuret, Westlinton and villages over the border like Canonbie reflects the real catchment.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Carlisle (8 miles), Brampton (11 miles), Wigton (15 miles) and Silloth (19 miles). A longer drive takes in Haltwhistle (21 miles), Alston (25 miles), Penrith (25 miles) and Dumfries (26 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Longtown, the site can name areas such as Arthuret, Kirkandrews-on-Esk, Westlinton and Canonbie.
