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

The park and ride is a long stay car park at the top of Dartmouth, close to Sainsbury’s and the Dartmouth Leisure Centre. Charges are from 8am – 7pm, with a regular bus service available to take you to the centre of Dartmouth. Please note that the bus times are subject to seasonal changes. 

Overnight parking is allowed, so this is a good location if you are staying in Dartmouth but don’t have parking at your accommodation.

This is also an ideal location if you are planning a river trip or a ride on the steam train. 

Electrical charging points are available.
