The Leeds and Liverpool Canal and the Manchester and Liverpool Railway are still part of the local landscape. Public transport via buses and the Metrolink is reliable, though congestion on the inner ring road and overcrowding at Wigan Market can happen. Parking is limited at Mesnes Park and Pennington Flash Country Park during busy times.
