I stood at the motorway entrence and after not too long wait I got a ride to the Lymn service station with a Truck, I slept next to that station and on next day I went with my driver to one of the last service stations before Scotland. Nice spot for heading north―Autostopeks

It didn't work the best for me. After an hour I got an offer to go to London (first of 3 in total in that direction) but as I was going north towards Scotland I declined it. After 2 hours I finally got a ride till first service station on M5 but it worked bad for north direction probably because of closer of M5 junction ahead and it's likely that everyone who was going north from Bristol wasn't even driving through this place. According to the sign on this junction road will remain closed till December 5 2026 so it might be wise to just search for different spot if you are planning to go up north from Bristol before that date―Autostopeks

So many cars and none stopped, this spot is so bad. Must have been 3000+ cars easily.―Maxiental

Great spot! [The other spot on another road is actually supposed to be this one... mistakenly marked, I imagine].The spot is this: a parking just before the roundabout, indeed with shade from a tree. Essentially here you get all the traffic from W. Wales and you should at least get a ride to Bristol (though that last petrol station before Bristol is always a bit hit and miss for me...but what can you do?).
Eventually settled on a ride to Bristol as it was hot, but had a sign for Devon and imagine a bit more patience would have got me that ride too.

The highway security pulled over to ask me to leave after literally 6 minutes. There is indeed a nice lane for people to stop but as it's the entrance of the highway it's forbidden to stand there and they probably have CCTV everywhere so you'd be lucky for them not to show up to ask you to leave ..―Anonymous

The spot i use for M5 Northbound, the other spot at the start of the M32 (see map) is only good for M4 eastbound. Not the best spot in the world but there's a little road to pull in on just after the roundabout.―Anonymous

All the trafic goes to M5 (towards Birmingham), there's a service way so they can stop for you. I hitched here in dark at 2009 December and I was picked up in 30 mins to B'ham.―Anonymous

services, don't remember the name. going north-south (services on both sides of the motorway, the bridge joins them) is no problem, but in the direction of London no chances―Anonymous
