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:
“A lake is the landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature. The fluviatile trees next the shore are the slender eyelashes which fringe it, and the wooded hills and cliffs around are its overhanging brows.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Civil servants and priests, soldiers and ballet-dancers, schoolmasters and police constables, Greek museums and Gothic steeples, civil list and services list—the common seed within which all these fabulous beings slumber in embryo is taxation.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
