Ashton-in-Makerfield is one of those towns that keeps things simple and friendly. Nestled between Wigan and St Helens, it's got a bit of a classic northern feel—tight-knit community, hard-working roots, and just enough going on to keep locals ticking over without the fuss of a big city. It's not flashy, but it's the sort of place that grows on you, with local character and plenty of pride.

Historically, Ashton-in-Makerfield built its name on coal mining and the manufacture of locks and hinges. During the Industrial Revolution, it was a hive of activity, with coal pits scattered across the landscape and metalwork factories clanking away. While those industries have long since faded, their legacy can still be felt around the town. These days, Ashton-in-Makerfield has a population hovering around 28,000 and has become largely residential, with a mix of traditional terraces, modern estates and green pockets that soften the industrial past.

For local attractions, the town is home to plenty of everyday amenities—leisure centres, playing fields, and parks like Jubilee Park, which is a popular green space for families and dog walkers. Haydock Park Racecourse sits just on the edge of town and pulls in crowds with its regular horse racing fixtures. If you fancy something historic, you're not far from National Trust spots like Speke Hall or the beautiful Rufford Old Hall. There's also the fascinating Norton Priory Museum and Gardens over in Runcorn, and for something grander, Knowsley Hall isn't far either.

Looking further afield, Greater Manchester's packed with things to see and do. You're close enough to explore Manchester's museums, shopping hubs and food scenes, or head over to Salford Quays for galleries and riverside walks. Football fans are spoilt for choice with two major clubs just a train ride away, and there's no shortage of parks, canal paths and greenbelt countryside dotted around the region for quieter days out.

The town isn't on the main train line itself, but nearby stations at Bryn and Garswood make rail travel easy, linking up with Wigan and onward into Liverpool or Manchester. By car, you're right by the M6 and M58, so motorway access is a breeze. Buses run frequently into Wigan, St Helens and beyond. Manchester Airport is about 30 miles away and reachable in just under an hour depending on traffic.
