Active Travel Wigan is brought to you by Ashton, Leigh and Wigan NHS in co-operation with Wigan Council.

It has been designed to enable you to plan walking, cycling and public transport journeys in your local area. By helping you to walk and cycle as part of your daily routine, we hope to help you to lead a healthier lifestyle without having to embark on an expensive exercise programme.

Active Travel Wigan is part of the “Living Well in Wigan Borough” Public Health Strategy to promote healthy lifestyles by supporting people to manage their own health and well-being. Download the strategy here:
