Knutsford is considered one of the points of the triangle.

The Golden Triangle is an area of affluent, leafy towns and villages in Cheshire such as Alderley Edge and Mottram St. Andrew. The three points of the triangle are subject of local debate, but are generally considered to be Wilmslow, Knutsford, and Prestbury. The area is noted for its expensive houses, pleasant countryside, famous footballers, celebrities, and entrepreneurs.[1]

Withinlee Road in Prestbury is said to be the most expensive street in the North of England- with prices on average at £1.5 million.[2]

The area and its rich businessmen were fictionalised in the drama series, Goldplated.[3]
