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.

Point of Interest The village is believed to have been named after Deedas, a Saxon lord.
