Parking in Dartmouth
Paying for parking in Dartmouth
As is common across the South Hams, the car parks in Dartmouth use the Ringgo parking App. This can be downloaded to smartphones from your app store. Alternatively you can use the Ringgo website or call the phone number shown on the machines, and follow the automated instructions.
If your car has an international number plate, please remember to include your country code when you complete the Ringgo details. This will allow the system to recognise your car details.
Coins can also be used at the machines in Dartmouth – but the machines do not take cards.
1 Park & Ride
