Description
This is a slightly longer alternative route which uses the canal tow path and takes in Wigan Pier.
It fits better with the 'Community Rail Trail' between Wigan and Bolton published by the South East Lancashire Community Rail Partnership which goes directly from Wigan to Hindley without the diversion the Ince (see Inchin Four).

Surveys
We are working to build-up a picture of what routes look like. To do that we are asking volunteers to survey routes so that we can communicate features, obstacles and challenges that may make a route desirable or not.
Slow Ways surveyors are asked to complete some basic online training, but they are not vetted. If you are dependent on the survey information being correct in order to complete a route, we recommend that you think critically about the information provided. You may also wish to wait until more than one survey has been completed.
Help people know more about this route by volunteering to submit a survey.

01 Apr 2024Although less direct than the other versions of this Slow Way, this has the benefit of being almost entirely off-road by maximising use of the canal tow path. It also has added interest as it includes the historic Wigan Pier area.
This route forms part of the 'Rail Trail' between Wigan and Bolton.
