Melkinthorpe doesn't have an official name, I just gave it this one to keep things simple. Here the land hasn't been prepared, but because it is so flat it wouldn't have needed much work to build a service station on it. There are only two 'sliproads to nowhere', the southbound offslip and the southbound onslip, however the highway boundary (the fencing around the motorway) seems to have left room for a northbound onslip to be built too.

Between the onslip and the offslip, there appears to be a tunnel under the motorway, although it looks like it is fenced off and therefore is completley useless.

The nearest services - Tebay and Southwaite - are almost exactly 15 miles away each side.
