The area around Settle.
Settle is a small market town in Ribblesdale, at the southern end of the famous Settle to Carlisle railway and a base for walkers tackling the Three Peaks. Limestone scars rise behind the town, and the market square is busy with visitors at weekends. Customers range from farming households and retirees to holiday-let owners, so a site that covers Giggleswick, Langcliffe and the surrounding villages, and answers enquiries quickly, will do well.
Skipton (13 miles) is the nearest in the same council area. A longer drive takes in Barnoldswick (11 miles), Earby (12 miles), Clitheroe (14 miles) and Colne (15 miles). Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
Giggleswick, Langcliffe, Long Preston, Stainforth, Austwick and Rathmell: if you work in particular parts of Settle, those names belong on the site.
Settle (postcode area BD) sits about 237 miles north of Exeter.
