- The estate is now run by the National Trust.
- It is testimony to the Dittisham's attraction, that two long distance hiking routes, the Dart Valley Trail & the John Musgrave Heritage Trail, run through the village.

Car access to Dittisham is somewhat tricky - we recommend the turn off from the A3122 to Dowton.
When entering Dittisham do not take a lane to the ferry but follow directions for Car Park and toilets.
Alternatively, you can walk to Dittisham from Dartmouth - see below.
 | The village is believed to have been named after Deedas, a Saxon lord. |
