Knutsford is a beautiful market town famous for its italianate architecture, diverse range of independent shops and restaurants and as the home of author Elizabeth Gaskell and her inspiration for Cranford.

Situated in the heart of Cheshire, the town boasts easy access from the M6 motorway and is a stop on the Manchester-Chester train line.

With annual events such as the RHS Flower Show at nearby Tatton Park and the Knutsford Royal May Day festival, Knutsford is an ideal leisure break destination.
