Leeds Skelton Lake Services - Extra - M1 J45 Now fully Open

Great space to take a break, quality shops and restaurants. Would drop in here more next time. Would recommend this place to anyone who has long drive anywhere.

There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, but obviously, there is no security as my curtain was slashed. Someone was looking in trailers, so it's very risky to park here.
