Tebay is a small village in Westmorland and Furness, set in the Lune valley at the foot of the Howgill Fells and within easy reach of both the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. The village sits beside the M6 and the West Coast Main Line, so it often feels like a quiet gateway between major routes and wild, upland countryside.
Despite its modest size, Tebay is well known for the family-run Tebay Services on the M6, which pioneered farm-shop produce and good quality food at motorway services; locally the economy mixes hill farming, small-scale tourism and service businesses. There’s a strong walking culture, a tangible railway history (the old station closed long ago) and a reputation for being a friendly stop-off that showcases local produce and landscape rather than the usual motorway fare.
