The 14 best walks for Big Wigan Walk week

With lighter nights and warmer weather after months of rain, many people will be finding every excuse to get outdoors

Walking is a great way of exercising and, fortunately, Wigan has plenty of green spaces away from the hustle and bustle of urban or suburbn life to explore.

May 25 also marks Big Wigan Walk week with nine days of free events planned including nature-themed strolls around beautiful green spaces and walking routes of historical interest.

We have put together a list of places where you can enjoy the outdoors, either solo or in groups as well as some of the events taking place.
