Greenway house and garden: 'the loveliest place in the world'

Take this extraordinary glimpse into the beloved holiday home of the famous and much-loved author Agatha Christie and her family.

The relaxed and atmospheric house is set in the 1950s, and contains many of the family's collections, including archaeology, Tunbridgeware, silver, botanical china and books. Outside you can explore the large and romantic woodland garden, with a restored vinery, wild edges and rare plantings, which drifts down the hillside towards the sparkling Dart estuary.

Please consider green ways to get here, to relieve pressure on congested lanes: cycling, walking or ferries from Dartmouth, Torquay and Brixham. You can also arrive at Greenway by car but spaces in the car park must be pre-booked.
