About Knutsford

Knutsford, Cheshire – Where are we?                                                    

http://www.virtual-knutsford.co.uk/

Knutsford the Jewel in Cheshire's crown.

A pretty, interesting market town, decorated with its many cobbled, streets, black and white buildings and Georgian houses as typified in Mrs Gaskell's famous story of Cranford. Which was based on the town that she lived in and knew so well.

Today the town still offers that link with those comfortable years gone by, coupled with an array of modern bars, restaurants, places to stay and many independent shops and boutiques.

A place to enjoy.

Knutsford once the village to the local estate of the Lords of Egerton of Tatton, with its majestic Regency  Mansion, 50 acre ornamental gardens, historic medieval hall and over 2000 acres of deer parkland.

Today Knutsford offers a lot more to enjoy
