🚗KnutsfordStart Point

Knutsford is the town that inspired Elizabeth Gaskell’s novel Cranford, sitting immediately beside Tatton Park — one of the finest landscaped estates in the North West, with a magnificent deer park, gardens and mansion all open to walkers. The Bollin Valley and the Cheshire Ring Canal Walk both pass nearby.

A genteel and historic Cheshire town with one of the North West’s finest country estates on its doorstep, Knutsford makes an excellent and very accessible base for gentle Cheshire Plain walking through parkland and canal towpaths.
