The Ham Playground

Down by the Ham in Dittisham, this little green space punches above its weight for such a quiet village spot. The view across the river is genuinely one of the better ones you’ll find without having to hike anywhere, and the shaded benches mean you can actually sit and enjoy it rather than squinting into the sun. There are public toilets on site, which if you know Dittisham, you’ll know is not something to take for granted around here. The open grass is good for kids to run around on, and it’s easy enough to reach by road if you’re not up for the footpaths. A solid stop for families, especially if you’re already in the village doing the whole cream tea and ferry-watching thing.
