Brit stops 163 and 164 are close.

Farncombe Farm at lambourn about 25 mins away.

Halfway Inn on A4 between Newbury/Hungerford has a large car park as does the Bell at Boxford, and might be worth a try.

There's parking where the Ridgeway crosses the B4001 Wantage/Lambourn Rd, and where it crosses the Wantage/Newbury Rd on the B4494 both with great views.

Edit: About 100m north of the B4001 one, there's a slightly less obvious spot on the right, I've seen many vans there.

I know that there is HGV parking at Tot Hill services south of the M4 on the A34 (Newbury Bypass) but no idea if there is overnight parking and parking charges for motorhomes.

If you are coming north bound on the A34 if would be worth calling in and checking it out as you are only about 15 minutes away from Newbury Showground. Access to the services are from a roundabout over the A34 so easily accessable off (and back on to) both north and south bound carriageways.
