The area around Torquay.
Torquay is the largest of the Torbay towns, a Victorian resort built across hills overlooking the bay, with palm trees, a harbour full of boats and a strong Agatha Christie connection. Tourism drives much of the economy, so holiday lets, hotels and restaurants are big customers for trades and cleaners, with seasonal peaks and quiet winters. Many of the steep, older properties need regular roofing and exterior work. Visitor-facing businesses must be easy to find on a phone, while trades benefit from naming districts like Babbacombe, St Marychurch and Chelston.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Paignton (3 miles) and Brixham (5 miles). Across the boundary into the next council area, Newton Abbot (5 miles), Teignmouth (6 miles), Kingsteignton (6 miles) and Totnes (7 miles) are also close. If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Babbacombe, St Marychurch, Chelston, Wellswood, Barton, Cockington, Shiphay and Watcombe: if you work in particular parts of Torquay, those names belong on the site.
Torquay (postcode area TQ) sits about 18 miles south of Exeter.
