Wigan Flashes

Wigan Flashes are an area of open water, lakes, and wetlands created due to mining subsidence in Wigan and Leigh, Greater Manchester, England. The subsidence occurred around 1902, and the name "flashes" derives from the resulting flash flooding that formed the lakes. The site is a designated National Nature Reserve and covers 1,824 acres (738 ha). The area is managed by the Lancashire Wildlife Trust and Natural England. The Flashes consist of a series of interconnected lakes and wetlands, forming a valuable wildlife habitat. The site includes eight bodies of water, including Scotsman's Flash, Pearson's Flash, and Westwood Flash. It also features 6 miles (10 km) of footpaths and trails, with a spur of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal running through the area. The Flashes serve as part of an important natural corridor, linking several local nature reserves and green spaces in the region. The terrain includes marshland, reed beds, woodland, and grassland, creating a diverse ecological landscape.
