Great hitch spot! There is even some shade from the trees. Only tricky thing is that there are two lanes, so it can be hard for someone in the far land to pull over fast enough. Good idea to stand at the beginning of the turnout if possible. My ride, who happened to be in the far lane, was so determined to stop for me that he pulled over AFTER the turnout and walked back to get me! I had a sign for Devon, and ended up with a ride to Glastonbury, where I’d been told I should go if possible. Beauty.―HoopRider

Direction south to the M5: there is no Shoulder for a car to stop and a dense traffic, so the place is a bit harsh but manageable in the right condition―Anonymous

There is a little snack bar along the road with possibility to talk to people or the space for a potential car to pull aside (there is also a bus stop between that spot and the roundabout but the visibility is low)―Anonymous

Sedgemoor Services . Slightly harder to go North ,as they can't see you before entering the motorway . Southbound is no problem―Anonymous

There is a bus stop on both sides of the road, however there is a nice lay-by on the south direction, where it's easy to get a ride (Done that 4 or 5 times, always quick). In my experience, the drivers are usually going towards Ilchester, not Langport. There's no lay-by here going towards Glastonbury. The traffic is fairly busy and thus drivers won't be very keen on stopping.―Anonymous

West towards Langport. There's a nice gravel lay-by. Speed isn't high and the amount of traffic is just about right.―Anonymous

Someone told me I wouldn’t get a ride here, but she was wrong! Best blackberries of my summer right by this bus stop. Great visibility and place to stop.―HoopRider

We wanted to head to exeter. Really busy in summer. Very easy to find rides, most of them heading to cornwall―Rinkonini

Apparently cars cannot stop at the bus stops as it is illegal due to the yellow lines. We got lucky as someone from the university took us towards a service station on the M5.―Rinkonini
