What have you heard about Wigan? People play rugby a lot? (league though not the other type!). They have a football team who can’t keep their place in the league, but seem to be very good in the FA cup? Don’t they all eat pies? A lot of pies? And haven’t they got a pier?....
This walk will take you on a journey through some of the town’s history: visiting the pier (which is sure to surprise you!), walking down streets in need of some TLC, but offering photo opportunities like only a broken window or pile of bricks can, smell the mintballs, meet some local legends and even have time for some shopping and a coffee.
This is our "on the move" guide, for more details and a longer description click here.
