Todhills Rest Area is a rest area in between Junctions 44-45 of the M6. It is the last Services Northbound on the M6 and the first Southbound. It was first opened in the 1980s on the A74 but when the M6 was extended, it was believed that the rest area would close so the road could be widened but they widened it without having the close the rest area. Todhills is not classed as a Service Station because it only has one shop. Since 2008, Todhills is England's second and only rest area on a motorway, the first being Brent Knoll on the M5 (now Sedgemoor). Both sides have fuel stations, and southbound contains a hotel. Here is a list of the services:

  • Costa Food/Snacks
  • Shell Fuel (Northbound)
  • BP Fuel (Southbound)
  • Travelodge Accommodation (Southbound)
