By far my favourite bar, both for drinking in or takeaway, the owners and Matt have worked tirelessly throughout this tough year to serve the local community. The selection of ales are fantastic both off the shelves and on draught. A real credit to the town. If you are ever feeling a bit down pop in to Dexter and Jones and you will definitely leave with a smile.

As well as the astonishing tapestry, which the lady volunteers told us all about, there is a touching memorial to local soldiers killed in WW1 and a pretty courtyard garden kept up by one of the gardeners from Dunham Massey. If you want to find out a lot about Knutsford, this is for you. It is a small place, not suitable for very large groups.

This is a great market, brilliant atmosphere. There are items for sale you wouldn't really get in most shops or boutiques. The shops also open on market days and the staff in the shops are very friendly.

St Oswalds Church

Reviewed By BryantheViking71 - Stockport, United Kingdom

This wonderful " Magpie " Church dates back to the 14th Century, and its columns are all ancient old Oak Trees, not stone pillars, so its like entering a forest. The ancient Font, and the Sacristy Chest, made from an old hollowed out bog oak, date back the the 13th Century. Brides to be had to prove they were strong enough to open the Chest lid, if they wanted to marry a local farmer. Rev Jane LLoyd is priest in charge and leads a wonderful worship

Duck walking in! This is a great pub located in a very cool location. Sit out front and watch the traffic. The beer is cold, the snacks are plentiful. The locals are funny and well established. The ladies behind the bar are beyond sweet! Cheers!

There are step stones or lots into the lake. Not for us. Children and teens all had a go. Nice place to sit and fish, watch people and have a picnic.
