Neighbourhoods
Our nearest village is Dittisham, which is nestled into the banks of the River Dart. It's a beautiful small village with lots of lovely holiday homes and an older population that expands to incorporate lots of families and visitors in the holidays but also, increasingly, year round.
It has two pubs, one of which is also the shop and post office and a stunning fish restaurant - the anchorstone cafe. You can hire boats and paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy the river from or get a boat up to Dartmouth where you can also take a steam railway journey along the river.
