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.

First group of guys we asked took us straight to Exeter. We had a sign, but it was of little use haha. We were three and barely squeezed into their car! A smile and positive energy goes a long way when asking folks for a hitch, as always ;)―Realpitabread

Junction 19 is BAD for going M5 North and M5 South . It is good for getting the 3 miles into Bristol on A 369.Junction 20 Avonmouth is VERY BAD .

A good spot to hitch from there is just in front of the police station. Had luck just because a driver who didint even pass by us saw us and asked about our destination. Got a ride along the M5 going north.We camped there too (there are some hills behind the station) and around 4 am a man woke us up in not a very frightening way, telling we weren´t allowed to camp there and had to leave in the morning.

Use it all the time, good for M4<>M5 change over. go to the services and ask people, or sit with a sign.The senseless place is only for newbies to hitching.

Heading south. Had to wait quite a long time, maybe not be the fastest, BUT excellent place to stay! I enjoyed staying here actually, there is small forest around where you can camp, or camp on the grass beside lorry place and you probably won't be disturbed anyway. Has free showers and Waitrose (good food).―River

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

For heading north (towards Bristol).There is a small bus stop, slow moving traffic due to traffic lights and good visibility.
Picked up in 20minutes.

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

Service station links to Junction 23A, allowing travel both east and west. You can talk to drivers as they come out of the services building.―Anonymous
