The main road in Cumberland is the [[M6 motorway]], which traverses the county from north to south, serving Carlisle and Penrith. It links the county with [[Kendal]], [[Preston]] (where traffic leaves for Manchester) as well as, ultimately, the [[West Midlands]] and southern England. To the north, it continues as the A74(M) motorway to [[Glasgow]], also serving traffic for [[Edinburgh]]. Another major route is A66, which links the county with Yorkshire, Teesside and, via the A1, to eastern England.
