Dartington Trust

Attended a course in the grounds at Dartington. Course was great, grounds were fantastic. Paid £6 for parking and the parking provider Total Parking Solutions i.e. the agent of the trust decided i was to have a fine from 2pm ish even though i had paid for parking from 9am when i arrived in the morning.

Have received numerous generic threatening letters since completely ignoring the fact that i paid. Complained to Dartington estate who don't ca...

Parking Scam! Dartington hall is a beautiful and pretty area to walk around and admire particularly good with my partner and our dog. One thing and a very big thing however is the parking. the parking on the grounds is a pay and display and also digital checking system to see your registration plate in the parking.
