Self-led walking routes
Prefer to walk alone or with friends and family? These self-led walking routes have been put together to help local people explore and enjoy what Wigan Borough has to offer. The maps highlight local Bee Network routes suitable for both leisure and active travel (e.g. commuting or visiting local amenities). Watch out for more routes being added soon!
Find other walks
All our walks are listed on the Ramblers' official website, where you can also find a variety of other free wellbeing walks across the north west and nationwide.
