From the Wikipedia article
Dittisham is a village and civil parish in the South Hams district of the English county Devon. It is situated on the west bank of the tidal River Dart, 2 miles (3.2 km) upstream of Dartmouth. The Greenway Ferry carries pedestrians across the river from Dittisham to Greenway Quay, adjacent to the Greenway Estate. Once the home of the crime writer Agatha Christie, this has views across the river, and the house and gardens are now owned by the National Trust and are open to the public. Gurrow Point is a private estate on the edge of Dittisham. In 2001, the parish had a population of 424. The figures for 1801 and 1901 are 639 and 549. Dittisham has given its name to the Dittisham plum, a dessert variety grown here. The fictitious Lady Dittisham is one of the main characters in Agatha Christie's Five Little Pigs.
