About Shap

Shap straddles the M6 at Junction 39, making it an ideal stopping point between England and Scotland. The village sits on both the motorway and the parallel A6, with most visitors arriving on long-distance journeys rather than local trips. Over 20 public EV chargers serve the steady stream of through traffic. The elevated position on Cumbrian moorland means cooler temperatures and frequent rain. The village quarries distinctive pink granite, famously used in London's Thames Embankment.
