Todhills Rest Area on the M6

Todhills is right at the top of the M6, near the border, a last chance to stop before Scotland or a first stop on the way back.

Food, fuel and facilities at Todhills

There is also a Travelodge. Outlets and opening hours change from time to time, so it is worth checking with the operator if you are relying on something in particular.

Worth knowing

Todhills is classed as a rest area, not full motorway services, so expect fewer facilities than at Southwaite. Heading north, it is the last stop on the M6.

The nearest services either side

Heading south, the next stop you can use is Southwaite (between Junctions 41 and 42). Heading north, this is the last stop on the M6 before the Scottish border. See all M6 services for the full list, from Rugby to the border.
