The area around Wigton.
Wigton is a Cumbrian market town on the Solway plain, with a large industrial film factory on its edge and a farming economy around it, and it serves a wide rural area between Carlisle and the coast. Customers are practical, often farming families and workers, and many live in villages some distance away. A trade here needs to state its travel radius clearly and show it is local, as word of mouth and familiar names count for a great deal.
The nearest towns in the same council area are Silloth (10 miles), Carlisle (10 miles), Cockermouth (14 miles) and Longtown (15 miles). A longer drive takes in Penrith (20 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.
Waverton, Red Dial, Thursby, Kirkbride, Bromfield and Aspatria: if you work in particular parts of Wigton, those names belong on the site.
Wigton (postcode area CA) sits about 284 miles north of Exeter.
