Northam and the places nearby.
Northam is a hilltop town on the Torridge estuary in north Devon, with the seaside village of Westward Ho! and the fishing village of Appledore both within its parish. Northam Burrows and the old links course sit between the town and the sea, and summer visitors swell trade along the coast. Residents range from families in the town to retirees and holiday-home owners, so seasonal visitor demand and year-round residential work both matter, and naming Westward Ho! and Appledore is essential.
Inside Torridge, the closest places are Bideford (2 miles), Great Torrington (7 miles) and Holsworthy (17 miles). Elsewhere in Devon: Barnstaple (7 miles), Ilfracombe (12 miles), South Molton (17 miles) and North Tawton (22 miles). Further out, Bude (20 miles) is within commuting distance. A list of the places you really serve is more useful to a customer than “and surrounding areas”.
