Nestled on the banks of the stunning River Dart, Dittisham is a picturesque village in South Devon that offers a peaceful and idyllic escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. Often described as one of the most charming and tranquil spots on the river, Dittisham combines natural beauty with a strong sense of community and history. The village boasts a couple of excellent pubs, including the renowned Ferry Boat Inn which sits right by the river and serves delicious local food, ales, and a welcoming atmosphere. From the jetty by the FBI you can catch a ferry down to Dartmouth or across to Greenway Quay and Greenway Estate, the home of the late Agatha Christie. The historic naval town of Dartmouth is a 10 minute drive away where the Britannia Royal Naval College stands proudly overlooking the town. Stroll along the embankment of the River Dart to discover a plethora of boutique shops and galleries, an Elizabethan butterwalk, and countless fantastic restaurants and pubs. On site at the Dart Marina Hotel you have the benefit of the newly opened Zephyr restaurant offering bistro style classics and lite bites or book a 'Gaia' treatment at the Wellbeing Spa. As well as its scenic estuary, Dartmouth gives access to some superb coastal and country landscapes nearby, sitting as it does on the South West Coast Path. At the mouth of the River Dart you have Dartmouth Castle with the SWCP leading to a number of small bathing coves. On the opposite side is Kingswear and from here you can access the National Trust estate of Coleton Fishacre, an Arts and Crafts-style house with an art deco interior, built in the 1920s for Rupert D'Oyly Carte, son of impresario Richard. The grounds are a gardener's delight, incorporating woodland and sub-tropical species and paths leading out to the cliff edge. The Dartmouth Steam Railway and Riverboat Company operates a wonderfully nostalgic service, which runs from Kingswear to Paignton.
