It's that time of year on the River Dart where the water is glittering, the hills are green, and there is genuinely nowhere else we'd rather be.

Come and see it for yourself. Its just a short walk down the hill to find us🌿

Today's focuses on delightful Dittisham, as part of our 'One River Eight Destinations' campaign series.

Renowned for its crabbing family fun, pretty village atmosphere and delicious food and drink options, Dittisham is a 30-minute potter up river from Dartmouth, with the opportunity to have wildlife encounters with seals en route!

It is reported that Sir Walter Raleigh liked to sit atop the Anchorstone, the rock in the river just south of Dittisham, to smoke his pipe!

If you're looking to visit Dittisham by yacht, 18 visitor buoys (white and marked with vessel size) are available off the village. There are also anchorages at Parson's Mud, to the south of Anchorstone or off Gurrow Point.

Dinghies can land at Dittisham Pontoon.

Take a trip up to Dittisham - you won't be disappointed!

Visitor moorings can be booked in advance on our website https://www.dartharbour.org/visitors/

17°C and sunshine on the River Dart today. Just saying. 🌤️

If you're looking for a reason to get yourself to Dittisham this weekend, consider this your sign. Pull up a chair on the water's edge, watch the boats drift by.

We weren't expecting this one, and it absolutely made our week. 🙌

"Probably the best pub I've visited. And being a publican myself, that's a big statement."

High praise from a fellow publican. We'll take it 🍻🙏
