Chester services is the only proper motorway service area on the M56 motorway (https://motorwayservicesonline.co.uk/Chester Motorway Services Online). Located around 8 miles from Chester, the services are accessed from Junction 14 of the M56 (https://www.roadchef.com/motorway-service-area-chester Roadchef); they are also accessible from the A5117 which intersects at the same junction. Until 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). It has since been redeveloped into the Roadchef service area it is today.
