The services has an unusual tower, The Pennine Tower, which originally housed its restaurant, but now contains offices. The tower was designed to imitate an Air Traffic Control Tower and is a prominent local landmark.
Like many older service stations, it has an all-weather enclosed bridge which enables travellers to use both the northbound and southbound facilities.
The nearest city is Lancaster, about seven miles (11 km) to the north.
It is operated by Moto (it was operated by Toprank when it opened in 1965, under the name Forton services).
