KNUTSFORD? Dawn of a new Era

 

The opening of Regent Street heralds a new era for Knutsford. The New Retail and Restaurant outlets promise to further enhance Knutsford as one of Cheshire's most desirable tourist destinations. Taking a stroll along King St followed by a leisurely walk around Tatton Park and returning for a relaxing drink or meal has few rivals to match the 'Perfect Cheshire Leisure Break.' It was no coincidence that David Beckham and his wife Victoria visited Knutsford to enjoy the unique character of the town and frequently chose to dine at the Belle Epoque Brasserie. Knutsford has a thriving community and has all the local amenities, clubs and societies, including its own theatre that ensures its appeal as a great place to live.
