Self catering holidays in Dittisham - Devon

Who does not know Dittisham?  Most people it seems - which is lovely for those of us who do!  You turn down a discreet opening on the road to Dartmouth, and enter the riverbank world of the forebears of Sir Francis Drake.  Names like Bozomzeal are difficult to pronounce and virtually off the map - but in stunning locations overlooking the Dart. 

Dittisham is home to the rich and famous (and infamous) as well as a core of switched on villagers who produce wonderful music and plays, usually performed at the Flavel Centre in Dartmouth.  The pub is a one-stop shopping experience, including the post office!   Park the car in the carpark and wander through the meandering track to the ferry that takes you to Agatha Christie's Greenways - just ring the bell and wait for the ferryman to collect you!  But before you get on the ferry sample the platter of seafood at the Anchorstone Cafe, just up the steps by the bell and drink in the view.  This is a lovely way to get to Greenways - and Greenways is a walk through the life of the prolific writer of 'who dunnits' - quite amazing.  There are wonderful well marked walks along the banks of the Dart here.
