Dart Valley Trail
Dartmouth to Dittisham – 5 Miles
Parking available at Sandquay off Old Mill Lane. This walk follows the south side of the river through maintained woodland out of Old Mill Creek to the Dart. Across fields offering great vantage points looking down the river towards the Higher Ferry and Dartmouth. There are a few very steep hills and at the top of the final hill, on a clear day you can see across to the coast at Torbay. At this point yo can follow the green lanes down into Dittisham and stop for food and drink in one of the village pubs or turn left and follow the green lanes back to the start of the walk.
