Killington Lake services is a motorway service station on the M6 motorway between Junctions 37 and 36 near Killington Lake in Cumbria. It was opened in 1972.
It is owned by RoadChef. It comprises a BP petrol station, a Days Inn and an area with shops and cafes. It is southbound only. 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 would normally use the northbound-only Burton-in-Kendal services ten miles to the south of Killington Lake services.
Famous quotes containing the words lake and/or services:
“What a wilderness walk for a man to take alone! None of your half-mile swamps, none of your mile-wide woods merely, as on the skirts of our towns, without hotels, only a dark mountain or a lake for guide-board and station, over ground much of it impassable in summer!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
