About the area

Lottisham is a delightful quiet Hamlet surrounded in wonderful countryside and close to the larger villages of Baltonsborough and West Lydford.

The thriving village of Baltonsborough has a church, primary school, village hall, pub, winery and a large new shop - The Balsbury Grocer. This is a new shop and cafe in the village offering a superb array of everyday groceries with artisan and locally produced breads, pastries and other deli type foods also on offer. Within the stores is a cafe too which has proved to be an excellent meeting place for local residents.

The village also has a very friendly community with a number of societies and organisations. In the other direction is Lydford with a mini supermarket/petrol station and another thriving pub - The Cross Keys Inn.
