Visit by car
Dartmoor National Park is in easy reach from the M5 motorway, the A30 and the A38 from Plymouth, Exeter, and Torbay.
There are DNPA operated car parks at Princetown, Postbridge, Haytor, Lydford and Meldon. They all use cashless ticket machines, or you can use the RingGo mobile parking service.
Need to charge your electric vehicle?
All DNPA-operated car parks have electric charging points. Some Dartmoor roads have width and length restrictions that make them unsuitable for large vehicles, motorhomes and coaches. If you’re travelling in one, don’t rely on satnav to plan your route.
