Motorhome hire Wigan

During your motorhome hire in Wigan, your first stop should be to visit the Haigh Woodland Park. The grounds are one of Wigan’s most calming green spaces and is a lovely attraction for families across the North West as there is plenty to do to keep everyone busy all day long. Get your walking shoes on and spend the day out at Haigh Woodland Park. During the summer time, your children can take on the high ropes course and fortress play park. They would definitely enjoy a fun round of crazy golf or even child-friendly activities like archery or storytelling whilst the adults play a game at Haigh Hall Golf Club. The grounds even have a tearoom, brewery, craft studio and shops that specialise in homemade foods in the Kitchen Courtyard: everything you need to enjoy your day out in a motorhome in Wigan.

Continue your motorhome hire in Wigan by walking or even cycling along the Leeds and Liverpool Canal. The town was used as a coal mining and cotton-spinning centre during the industrial revolution. The 127 mile long canal is the longest in the UK and was once used during this time to transport coal, limestone and textiles across the north west with an international exit at the Port of Liverpool. You can use the canel to get to many other attractions in Wigan, such as the DW Stadium, the Wigan Flashes, the Trencherfield Mill and Wigan Pier. If you’re interested in industrial architecture such as Georgian period warehouses and narrow-gauge railway tracks, then you shouldn’t miss a stop by Wigan Pier. George Orwell, a famous English novelist and critic, spent time not far from the pier writing about the desperate living and working conditions of those that came from this part of the world.

If you are fascinated by history and especially the industrial revolution, but also enjoy getting out and about, surrounded by nature, then Wigan would be the ideal travel destination for your motorhome hire.
