Dittisham, a charming village in the South Hams situated on the banks of the River Dart and surrounded by open farmland, is a popular tourist destination. Walk till you reach the waterfront amid the quaint streets surrounded with charming stone-built homes and lush gardens. The quayside in Dittisham is frequently thought of as the centre of the community. Visit the Anchorside Café for breakfast and enjoy the breathtaking views of the river. On the dinghy pontoon, try your hand at some crab-catching with the youngsters. Go to the well-known pink Ferry Boat Hotel (or FBI as it is known locally). Head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha Christie. For outdoor activities, sailing schools and canoe hire are available, as well a selection of pretty walks. The harbour town of Dartmouth is an easy drive away or ferry away, offering an abundance of shops, a cinema, tasty restaurants and even a castle. From here, you can discover plenty of beautiful beaches such as Blackpool and Slapton Sands, as well as key destinations such as Salcombe, Totnes, and Brixham.

Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?
