One of the attractions of Haigh Hall is the walled garden - it looked lovely and inviting and peaceful.... but the gate was locked :-((.....so only had this peep through.

Another advertised feature of the country park was a model village - supposely opened at the weekends in the summer months ...but again this was closed and judging by its somewhat neglected appearance, it had been for some time - such a shame as it could be so nice and fun for the kids rahter than the usual bouncy castles they play on here.

The main gates to Haigh Hall estate are listed architecture and stand some 2 miles away from the actual hall - its a pleasant walk through the woodlands to reach the country park main attractions.

Just north of Wigan - about 4 miles away is Haigh Country Park. Its set in 350 acres of wood and parkland and is free to enter so plenty of opportunities for bike rides, walking and other family outings here to enjoy - kids play area and restaurant on site too Kids will enjoy a ride on the 15" Railway that goes though the woodland near the Hall in the park. At one entrance to the Park these stocks can be seen.
