Motorway service station in Cumbria, England
Killington Lake Services is a motorway service station on the M6 motorway between Junctions 37 and 36 near Killington Lake in Cumbria, England. It was opened in 1972.
History
It opened on Wednesday 17 May 1972, southbound only, run by BP.[1] Tebay, on the northbound side, nine miles to the north, opened the following month.
Structure
It is owned by Roadchef. It comprises a BP petrol station, a Days Inn and a main facilities building with a Costa Coffee outlet and WHSmith newsagents.[2] A McDonald's restaurant opened here in March 2014. It is only accessible to southbound traffic, therefore to access the services while travelling north it is necessary to continue up to Junction 37 and then come off, turn round, and head all the way back down. However, northbound traffic can use the northbound-only Burton-in-Kendal services ten miles to the south of Killington Lake Services, or Tebay Services ten miles to the north.
The northern section of the site is in New Hutton, and the southern section of the site is in Old Hutton and Holmescales.
