Location
Dittiscombe Estate is a real retreat but it's still easily accessible to the unspoilt and beautiful beaches of this area. There are stunning coastal walks along the South West Coast Path, from Dartmouth to Start Point Lighthouse.
Just two miles north of Slapton village, which has two very good pubs and the popular community shop for local produce, you can also take the nature trail around Slapton Ley's lovely fresh water lake. Here there is an abundance of wildlife. Venture a short distance further to Torcross and for some of the areas finest fish and chips at the local pub.
Salcombe and Dartmouth, popular sailing towns, have much to offer and are within easy reach, as are the bustling market towns of Totnes and Kingsbridge.
The South Hams area is a very special part of South Devon and one of the most unspoilt and beautiful areas in the country. With a gentle climate all year round, visitors can enjoy dramatic coastline, pretty estuaries, beautiful beaches, excellent food and drink producers, lovely historic villages and huge selection of attractions.
