Lovely scenic route that is mainly off road or on quiet country lanes. You will pass some of Wigan's famous landmarks which starts with the famous DW Stadium - home to Wigan Rugby League Club and Wigan Athletic Football Club. You then move on to pass Wigan Pier made famous by George Orwell / and George Formby. Next you will go uphill passing one of Britains largest set of locks - 23 of them in total. You will head into the grounds of Haigh Hall a large Country Park and Hall, left to the residents of Wigan by Lord Crawford for the enjoyment of all.
