Low Hall National Nature Reserve is a wonderful pocket of nature located in Wigan. The Low Hall 1.5k Family Loop will take you around this wonderful sight and showing you all the wondrous wildlife and nature that this site has to offer.
When you arrive at the Low Hall car park head through the gate and walk straight ahead towards the wonderful array of stone known to locals as stone henge! From here continue on ahead where you will be stopped in your tracks by the totem pole towering over you and marking the crossover of the paths. Continue on the path and into the woods where you will see the amazing woodland, ponds and all the wildlife that comes alive here. Follow the path around, exploring as you go, until you make it back to the totem pole. We recommend that you walk around the site in an anti-clockwise direction to get the best experience from the site!
