The area around Taunton.
Taunton is the county town of Somerset and the commercial centre for a large rural area stretching towards the Quantocks and the Blackdowns. Easy access from the M5 means many businesses here cover a wide patch of villages and farms as well as the town itself, and customers expect them to. Public-sector and professional employers give the town a steady weekday economy. For a local business, spelling out how far into the countryside you travel is as valuable on the website as the Taunton address itself.
Closest to Taunton within Somerset: Wellington (6 miles), North Petherton (7 miles), Bridgwater (9 miles) and Wiveliscombe (9 miles). It is worth saying plainly which of these you travel to, so people further out know whether to call.
