... Limited, so I was keen to check out the award winning Tebay services and farm shop, just south of there and conveniently en route to where I have been spending the weekend.
This is the only privately owned service station in the country and it is the only one that I would ever want to make a special journey to, to visit. With a meat and cheese counter and a large selection of fresh produce it really is a service station with ...
