We visit Knutsford and the nearby Tatton Park for today's walk. Our destinations are located in Cheshire, and can be reached off the M6 motorway at junction 19. For a map of the area click here. The weather starts brightly with sunshine, but clouds and rain arrive later in the day. The temperature is approximately 9˚C. There are two pages from this walk, to visit page 2 click here.

We start our walk from the car park just off the main one way road through Knutsford, King Street. There is an interesting variety of architecture in this small town, named after the Danish King Canute, who supposedly forded the River Lily in 1016. The town appears in the Domesday Book as Cunetesford.
If you keep your eyes open as you wander around, you will notice a number information plaques detailing the history behind many of the buildings.
Ruskin Chambers in the photo on the left above. This Italian styled building was named after the Victorian Poet, John Ruskin and built in 1902. The Chambers are close to the entrance of our next destination, Tatton Park.
