We provide car parks at a number of villages and scenic spots throughout the North York Moors. Some of these car parks are pay and display and many have public toilets.
The relatively small charge we ask helps us to maintain these facilities for the benefit of residents and visitors all year round and is also spent on looking after the National Park. Thank you for helping others to enjoy their time here.

How to pay for car parking
There are several ways to pay for parking in our car parks across the National Park:
- Pay at a ticket machine in one of our car parks. The ticket machines are card payment only. You can also pay by Apple Pay and Android Pay.
- Pay using the PayByPhone app (see details below).
- Purchase an annual permit.
- If you've forgotten to pay at one of our car parks you can make a late payment by using the online form. Please note that is not possible to make a late payment for Newton under Roseberry car park.
PayByPhone app
The PayByPhone app makes parking fast, easy and convenient - and you don’t even have to get out of your car. The North York Moors National Park page on the PayByPhone website has further information and advice.
You will not be able to access the PayByPhone app if you have no mobile network coverage, you will then have two options:
- Move to an area with better network coverage and complete your parking transaction with PayByPhone;
- Pay for your parking via other methods or via the Pay & Park machine where available.
Download the PayByPhone app before your visit using the links below.
