Parking

Railway

Regrettably we do not have a customer car park at Paignton or Kingswear.

At Paignton there are a number of local car parks to choose from. Just click on the car parks links below for details.

Pay and display car parks

All the above are operated by Torbay Council - weekly car park tickets can be obtained from local Tourist Information Centres.

The only car park at Kingswear is the Darthaven Marina car park (postcode TQ6 0AA) and it is very limited. This car park is privately owned and charges apply.

River Boats & Buses

Dartmouth Embankment (postcode TQ6 9BH). Park and Ride available (postcode TQ6 9LW) - situated at the top of Dartmouth on the A3122 opposite Sainsbury's. There is a short-stay car park in the town centre (postcode TQ6 9NF), (maximum of 3 hours), opposite the Embankment. The town centre car park is owned by South Hams District Council.

Totnes Steamer Quay (postcode TQ9 5AL). There is plenty of all day parking here but the two car parks are owned by South Hams District Council, so charges apply. Check their website for current prices or you can telephone to make payment by card.  Please Note : unfortunately our kiosk staff are unable to supply coinage for car parking.

Reviews

  • What a great trip! - A lovely time was had on this trip on the train itself and then river boat - we had the river trip on the paddler which was just perfect - a coal fired train and a coal fired boat! Enjoy.
  • Amazing - Best day out of our holiday. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It’s such great value for money and honestly such a special day out for all. We will definitely be back!
  • Lovely trip - The steam railway train is brilliant, the iconic click-clacking of the train was enjoyable to listen to and and the train ride had stunning views. The short ferry was also lovely (only about a minute or two).
