Dittisham is a village in Devon, located on the West Bank of the River Dart approximately two miles from the coast. The Greenway Ferry connects Dittisham with Greenway Quay, on the east bank. Greenway Quay is in turn adjacent to the Greenway Estate. Dittisham is probably used as the model for Gitcham, a village near Nassecombe in the 1956 novel Dead Man's Folly.
In the novel Five Little Pigs, the married name of Elsa Greer is Lady Dittisham.
