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.

Tried to get from here towards Carmarthenshire following the Brecon Road.It took us quite long, so it might be better to try the southern route.
Anyway, caught a lift to Brecon in 15mins

Looks like a good spot, with a lot of space for the cars to stop; we had to wait there for 3 h though for a ride to a gas station along M5. (10.2014)―Ewelinalucy

We got dropped here after a misunderstanding and were stuck for 2h until a Lady in a Porsche rescued us and took us to the main Cardiff service station. Try not to end up here!―Anonymous
