It links the [[M1 motorway]] 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 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]], [[Warrington]], Stafford and 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]].
