Dittisham
Dittisham must surely be one of the most picturesque villages in Devon. This lovely South Hams village nestles into the western side of the River Dart, a couple of miles up river from Dartmouth.
During the summer the village is a hive of activity with children fishing for crabs off the pontoons, learning to sail or simply just messing around in boats. For adults, Dittisham is the perfect place to just relax and enjoy some beautiful scenery.
The village has two pubs, a cafe, a post office and store. Sailing tuition and boat hire is available.
Just across the river from Dittisham is Greenway. This handsome house, set in magnificant gardens, was the former summer home of Agatha Christie. Now owned by the National Trust, the house has recently been restored and is now open to the public
Close to Dittisham are the villages of Cornworthy & Tuckenhay, both set in some delightful South Devon scenery.
Dittisham is the ideal base for exploring the River Dart, Dartmouth & the South West Coast Path. Dartmoor & Torbay are also easily accessible
