Club Profile
Our Heritage - Established in 1964, Dunstable and District Boat Club (DDBC) is proud to be one of the four founding members of the AWCC. Today, our club thrives thanks to a community of over 100 members. It is their diverse skills, dedication, and hard work that have built the exceptional facilities we enjoy today - a legacy we believe our founding members would be immensely proud of.
An Idyllic Location - Situated at Cooks Wharf, Pitstone, the Club sits in a stunning rural stretch of Buckinghamshire at the foot of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Located on the Grand Union Canal, we are perfectly positioned just one mile north of Marsworth and the Wendover and Aylesbury Arms, with Leighton Buzzard within easy reach to the north.
