Cheshire is open for adventure this spring
Like A Local
One of my favourite things to do in Chester is to Run around the City Walls.
There's nothing I enjoy more than a leisurely potter around Knutsford. These unplanned wanderings are the best, when you stumble upon hidden gems, free from the pressure of specific shopping lists.
As a proud business owner in Tarporley, Iโve had the privilege spending lots of time in this beautiful Cheshire village home for many years.
