Wigan sits in Merseyside with a character shaped by its industrial past, from cotton mills and coal pits to the canal wharves that once moved both. These days the pace is gentler, and the town's cafes make an easy base for exploring, whether you're passing through for an afternoon or settling in overnight at one of its hotels. With 185 listed spots in total, there's plenty to fill a weekend itinerary.
