overnight parking on the M6 going north

[roger buckley]

Hi All,

Does anyone have any suggested places to overnight next weekend that they would recommend on the way up to cairnryan to catch the Irish ferry. I would likely like to stay on the M6 , to beak up the journey from Northants ?
Thanks in anticipation
Roger

Tebay also has a caravan site attached not cheap but they do give vouchers for discount eve meal and I think breakfast also. It is quiet and away from the lorries.
Have used a few times on way north

Try Greenacres caravan park it's only 5 mins from M6 junction 44. It's an adult only site and just far enough to be out of earshot of the motorway to get a peaceful night.

Ah, so it's true what they say about you. Was Miss Whiplash there when you called ?

There are several sites in Gretna Green, which is literally next to the motorway, about 30 seconds after leaving, you'll find a couple. Great outlet store too, which is only a couple of hundred yards from the junction.

But surely you don't let the wife near those places, Do you?

Her car knows the way - she just turns the ignition, sit's back, and 5 minutes later, she's there. It's only a couple of miles from us.

Hi Roger,

I live just off J41, in the middle of nowhere. I have space to for you to park, and fresh water and a drain point (drain cover which can be lifted).

You are welcome here, but the turn off the lane is a bit tight, so how long is your MH? I guess 20 foot(ish) long is the max length which would fit around the bend.

Let me know :thumb:

That is very kind of you - unfortunately we are 7 m in length.
Have spoken to the lady running the service station at Barton in Kendall and she says we should be o.k there (not many trucks o/night on a saturday)
Regards Roger

Last time we were in that neck of the woods we came off at Junction 37, turned right on to the A684, and then hung another right and wild-camped on a lane behind Killington Lakes.

No problem.

OK, how about here though?

54.973952,-2.950162 - Google Maps

It is a layby a few minutes north of J44, on the A7. I pass it often and there always seems to be MHs parked up there........This section of the A7 is generally quiet and it must be better than a service station?

You can go to Longtown > Gretna > A75 in the morning.

I hope this helps.

Ah so that's where I recognise you from!
