At the heart of the village is 'The Ham' a wonderful, waterside recreational park. Situated on the opposite side of the River Dart and linked by the Greenway Ferry is the National Trust owned estate of Greenway, once home of the crime writer Agatha Christie. The historic naval port of Dartmouth, located 6 miles away by car, provides all your retail and recreational needs, with the town full of galleries, restaurants, shops, 2 swimming pools, leisure centre and 3 supermarkets. To the north is the medieval market town of Totnes with its further amenities and main-line railway station offering direct links to London Paddington, whilst the A38 Devon expressway is approximately 13 miles away, allowing speedy access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth and the country beyond.

Higher Bozomzeal is situated on the rural outskirts of the village of Dittisham, in the historic Raleigh estate owned by the descendants of Sir Walter Raleigh, after being purchased from the prominent Seale Family in 1873.
