Getting Around
Knutsford’s compact town centre is easy for getting around by foot, but places like Tatton Park and the many nearby golf courses are a little further afield. If you’re driving, then that won’t be a problem. If you need to catch a cab, then there are plenty of Knutsford taxi providers we can recommend, with Arrow Cars and Abacus Taxis being a couple of the most popular options along with Uber. If you’re travelling by train, there is the Knutsford Railway Station at the south end of the town centre. It’s on the Mid-Cheshire Line, which runs from Chester to Manchester via Altrincham.
