SITUATION
Nestled on the western banks of the River Dart, among rolling green hills and wooded valleys, Dittisham is one of the South Hams most attractive and unspoilt villages. This highly desirable village has a thriving community with a church, post office/general store, two pubs, a waterside café and a popular sailing club. At the heart of the village is 'The Ham' a wonderful, waterside recreational park. Situated on the opposite side of the River Dart and linked by the Greenway Ferry is the National Trust owned estate of Greenway, once home of the crime writer Agatha Christie.

The historic naval port of Dartmouth, located a few miles away, should provide all your retail and recreational needs, with the town full of galleries, restaurants and shops. To the north is the medieval market town of Totnes with its main-line railway station and further amenities whilst the A38 Devon expressway is approximately 13 miles away, allowing speedy access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the country beyond.
