Greenway house and garden: 'the loveliest place in the world'
Coronavirus update
From end of Tuesday 24 March, we closed all our car parks to further restrict the spread of coronavirus. This followed the decision to close our parks and gardens in addition to our houses, shops and cafes. We urge people to stay local and observe social distancing. Please do not travel.
Bringing the garden to your home
Blooming lovely magnolias
Bright pink and white magnolias bloom in the spring, with the wonderful backdrop of the Dart estuary.
Battery on the river
Complete with cannons, the battery is the place to spot wildlife and watch the passing river traffic.
Captivating camellias
Vibrant pinks, reds and delicate creams - there are many varieties of camellias at Greenway. There's even a Camellia Garden tucked away in the woodland garden.
Loveliest place in the world
Agatha Christie called Greenway 'the loveliest place in the world' and it's not hard to see why, with views like this.
Quiet spot of contemplation
Tucked away behind the walled gardens lies the fernery, with a trickling water feature and a pet cemetary. It's a secluded and peaceful place, with sunlit filtering through a canopy provided by towering trees.
