Around Matlock.
Matlock is Derbyshire's county town, on the Derwent in the Peak District, with the old Smedley's Hydro now housing the county council. Matlock Bath, just down the gorge, draws crowds for its cable car, riverside and weekend motorcyclists. Much of the housing is stone-built on steep hillsides, which makes access and parking a real consideration for tradespeople. Visitor businesses in the Bath need clear seasonal hours, while trades should name Tansley, Darley Dale and Starkholmes as well as the town.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Darley Dale (2 miles), Wirksworth (4 miles) and Bakewell (7 miles). Elsewhere in Derbyshire, Clay Cross (6 miles), Alfreton (8 miles), Chesterfield (9 miles) and Belper (9 miles) are within reach. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Matlock, the site can name areas such as Matlock Bath, Tansley, Darley Dale, Starkholmes, Cromford and Lumsdale.
Matlock addresses fall in the DE postcode area, about 187 miles north-east of Exeter, where we are based.
