Haigh Hall & Country Park
Once the ancestral home of local landlord the Earl of Crawford and Balcarres, Haigh Hall was built in the mid-nineteenth century. It was sold to Wigan Council in 1947.

- Gift shops and tea room
- Craft gallery
- Nature trails
- Children’s playground
- Crazy golf course
- Miniature railway
- Model village
Free parking is available for 1,000 cars.
