SITUATION Dittisham is a picturesque Devon village located in one of the finest locations on the beautiful Dart Estuary. The village is highly popular with those who participate in waterborne activities and has a thriving sailing club. Local amenities include a historic church, village store, post office, two public houses, the popular Anchorstone cafe and Dartmouth Golf and Country Club is within four miles. One of the loveliest river journeys in the country takes you up the Dart to Totnes and presents a whole spectrum of river life. Totnes itself is the highest navigable point on the River Dart and is the gate way to the South Hams. This lively market town is full of historic interest with narrow streets dominated by the castle and church tower. Dartmouth is six miles away at the mouth of the estuary. It is renowned for its deep safe harbour and marine facilities. It also has a good range of quality shops and restaurants. Today the harbour is busy with yachts, sailing dinghies and fishing boats of all descriptions and the Yacht Clubs of Dartmouth and Kingswear maintain a full racing schedule throughout the year, which culminates in the Royal regatta at the end of August. With first class yacht marinas at Dartmouth and Kingswear and many deep water moorings nearby, the area provides an ideal base to keep a boat, with cruising opportunities to Torbay and the Solent to the east and Salcombe, Fowey and Falmouth to the west. Or you may just prefer to sit by the river watching the boating world go by! Devon can offer a wonderful combination of town, city, coastal and country life, indeed it is the only county to offer two moors and two coasts. It affords the opportunity of a residence with a wonderful quality of life. Whichever you choose to experience, unwind in the beautiful countryside, enjoy the spectacular coastline both north and south and even join in the vibrant cosmopolitan city life offered by Exeter and Plymouth. The two cities both offer university education and a wealth of historic sites. The South Hams is an area of exceptional beauty and contrast with river estuaries, rolling hills and thatched cottages surrounding lovely old towns and includes Dartmoor National Park to the north and beaches to the south. The South Hams is a unique area worthy of its national status as a designated 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'. If travel and commuting is important to you, Exeter and Plymouth have their own regional airports; Plymouth also has its own ferry terminal. Devon has a comprehensive rail network and road links to the M5 motorway. These give easy access to the rest of the UK and Europe.
