Chester services is a motorway service area on the M56 in Cheshire. In August 2011 it was rated as 2 stars by quality assessors at Visit England.[1]

History

Chester services is the only proper motorway service area on the M56 motorway.[2] Prior to 1998 the site was just a rest or picnic area owned by the Department for Transport. The 'picnic' area lacked facilities (consisting of just a car park) and when developers were found it was then closed and redeveloped into the Roadchef service area it is today.[3]

Location

Accessed from Junction 14 of the M56,[4] the services are located around 8 miles from Chester city centre in Cheshire, England.The services are also accessible to the A5117 which also intersects at the same junction. There are no further motorway services westbound on the M56, or on the nearby M53 motorway and A55 after the Chester services.[5]
