Thornbury and the places nearby.
Thornbury is a small, fairly affluent market town north of Bristol, close to the Severn, with a historic high street, a castle and a settled population that includes many commuters and retirees. Customers tend to prefer established local firms they can recommend to neighbours, and they notice quality. The surrounding villages share the same market and are often searched by name. A website that looks well put together, shows local work and names the nearby villages it serves sits well with Thornbury customers.
Bradley Stoke (5 miles), Patchway (6 miles), Yate (7 miles) and Filton (7 miles) are the nearest in the same council area. Across the boundary into the next council area, Chepstow (7 miles), Wotton-under-Edge (8 miles) and Lydney (8 miles) are also close. Naming the towns you actually cover tells people straight away whether you will come to them.
