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

We had a sign saying "M4 West", a car stopped after 15min and the driver said he could take us to Cardiff service station but didn't take us to the big one, we ended up spending 2h to get out of the small service station he dropped us at―Anonymous

On-ramp 2 Chepstow, M48 towards Bristol. Nice hard shoulder, but quite fast traffic. If you can't catch a ride you can always walk over the bridge on the footpath to the Severn View services.―Anonymous
