Wigg Island consists of 23 hectares of reclaimed industrial land with wide footpaths and plenty of picnic tables, there are a number of bird hides and long views over the Mersey estuary, plenty of wide open spaces, great for dogs (don't forget to pick up after them, bins are provided) woodland walks with trolls and sculptures. Only downside there are no facilities unless the visitor centre is open, but its volunteer run so mostly weekends.
