Shevington is a village and civil parish in the Metropolitan Borough of Wigan, in Greater Manchester, historically part of Lancashire. It sits on the rural–urban fringe to the south‑west of Wigan town centre, with a mix of suburban streets and surrounding green‑belt farmland and woodlands; good road links make it a popular base for commuters to Manchester and Liverpool.
Historically a rural settlement shaped by the industries of the wider Wigan area, Shevington today centres on local shops, schools and community organisations, with sports clubs and village events that give it a strong community feel. Its lanes, pocket woods and easy access to countryside walks make it attractive to families and those looking for a village atmosphere within reach of larger urban centres.
