Wigan Pier sits on the superlative Leeds & Liverpool Canal. It combines a beautiful natural setting with urban canal history, making it the perfect place to discover your local waterway.
Stop by our office at Trencherfield Mill just on the junction with the Leigh Branch for copies of our visitor activity sheet and other local canalside information.
Then stroll down the towpath to the Wigan Flashes, the canal is a great place to relax and enjoy the wildlife, with a mass of unusual birds and insects to look out for. Take a peaceful boat trip or unwind in one of the pubs and cafés, and admire the local history.
