The quayside in Dittisham is frequently thought of as the centre of the community. Visit the Anchorside Café for breakfast and enjoy the breathtaking views of the river. On the dinghy pontoon, try your hand at some crab-catching with the youngsters. Go to the well-known pink Ferry Boat Hotel (or FBI as it is known locally). Head across the Dart to Greenway, the once holiday home of the renowned Agatha Christie. For outdoor activities, sailing schools and canoe hire are available, as well a selection of pretty walks.
