M6, southbound

The M6 motorway runs from junction 19 of the M1 at the Catthorpe Interchange, near Rugby to the Gretna junction (J45). Here it becomes the A74(M) and M74 which continues to Glasgow. The M6 is the longest motorway in the United Kingdom (232 miles) and one of the busiest. It incorporates the first length of motorway opened in the UK (the Preston bypass in 1958) and forms part of a motorway "Backbone of Britain", running north-south between London and Glasgow via the industrial north of England. It is also part of the east-west route between the Midlands and the east coast ports.

Entrance to Kingmoor (North) Nature Reserve

Kingmoor is the oldest nature reserve in Cumbria, established in 1914. It was once a continuous strip of woodland over 2km long. The central section was felled in 1933 to build an airfield, which later became the Kingstown Industrial Estate. The remaining north and south reserves are today connected by a footpath which follows the route of the dismantled Waverley Railway Line. The reserve is managed by Carlisle City Council.
