The area around Stanhope.
Stanhope is the main town of upper Weardale, a stone-built dale community in the North Pennines with a market cross, a fossil tree in the churchyard and a ford across the Wear. Lead mining and quarrying shaped it; farming, walking visitors and holiday cottages now matter more. Customers are widely scattered up the dale and weather is harsh in winter, so a trade serving Frosterley, Eastgate and Rookhope should say so clearly and make contact straightforward.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Wolsingham (5 miles), Tow Law (8 miles), Consett (10 miles) and Crook (11 miles). A longer drive takes in Corbridge (16 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Inside Stanhope, the site can name areas such as Frosterley, Eastgate, Rookhope, Crawleyside and Westgate.
Stanhope (postcode area DL) sits about 285 miles north of Exeter.
