Around Sturminster Newton.
Sturminster Newton is a small market town on the Stour in the heart of the Blackmore Vale, with a restored mill, a medieval bridge and a long history as a dairy and livestock centre. Its customers are spread across farms and villages, and many homes are older cottages and farmhouses. Word of mouth still counts for most, so a website works as proof of legitimacy: who you are, which villages you cover, and photos of real local jobs.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Stalbridge (4 miles), Shaftesbury (7 miles), Blandford Forum (8 miles) and Sherborne (9 miles). A longer drive takes in Wincanton (10 miles), Mere (11 miles), Yeovil (14 miles) and Bruton (14 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
