4 Once through this next gateway you are greeted by the most fantastic view down the River Dart to Dartmouth and Kingswear and here you’ll fi nd benches to sit and take in the stunning scenery. We spotted two different birds of prey in the pastures that fall away down towards the river’s edge along with a wonderful variety of trees. To complete the walk it’s necessary to now retrace your steps to the permissive path to Greenway House that you passed at the top of the hill coming up

through the plantation. This leads you to the main house driveway. 5 Once at the house take the path to the left that snakes through the trees down to the Greenway Ferry where you can take the short crossing to explore Dittisham or stop for a drink at the Ferry Boat Inn. From the ferry stage follow Greenway Road back up to Lower Greenway Farm and follow the same route back to Galmpton Quay. 
