'''M6 motorway''' is the longest motorway in England, at 232 miles long. It links the [[M1 motorway]] and [[A14 road]] at Catthorpe in [[Leicestershire]] in the south, to the Guards Mill interchange in Cumberland, where the road continues as the A74(M) motorway to Scotland. A major road in the Midlands and North West of England, it serves several major cities, most notably [[Birmingham]], as well as [[Coventry]], [[Stoke-on-Trent]] and Wolverhampton. The M6 is bypassed around Birmingham and the Black Country by a parallel toll motorway, the M6 Toll; the M6 itself is, like most British motorways, entirely toll free. The first section of M6 to open, and aslo the first length of motorway in Britain, was the bypass of [[Preston]] in 1958; the present course of the motorway was completed 50 years later in 1958. Other major settlements on the M6 include (from north to south) [[Carlisle]], [[Lancaster]], [[Wigan]], [[St Helens]], [[Warrington]], [[Newcastle under Lyme]], [[Stafford]] and [[Rugby, Warwickshire|Rugby]]. It also, via adjoining motorways such as the M56, M61 and M62, serves the major south Lancashire towns such as [[Liverpool]] and [[Manchester]], with traffic leaving at Warrington or Preston, the latter also being where traffic joins the M55 for [[Blackpool]].
