Greenway

Agatha Christie and her family spent their time at Greenway relaxing and enjoying the woodland gardens. Why not follow in their footsteps and see what adventures await?

Agatha Christie called Greenway 'the loveliest place in the world' and treasured it as a holiday home for her and her family. The house is open daily from 10.30am, with last entry at 4.30pm. Visits are limited to ensure social distancing and entry to the house is not guaranteed on the day you visit.

Greenway is nestled in a woodland garden which drifts down the hill to the banks of the River Dart. The garden is complete with stunning views, colourful borders and grand trees, perfect for exploring. At this time of year, bluebells line the woodland paths.

Did you know we have a number of walks through the countryside to Greenway? There are different walks to choose from, which you could combine to make into a circular walk. We've included trails to follow through the garden when it's open.

Dogs are welcome at Greenway; Agatha Christie and her family were big dog lovers, and so are the staff and volunteers now. Please keep your dogs on a short lead when in the grounds at Greenway, and dispose of any waste in the bins provided.

With more people than ever enjoying our coast and countryside places, we’re asking for your help in looking after them during your visit. Please help us protect wildlife and landscapes by following the Countryside Code, which includes taking any litter home with you and not lighting a barbecue or campfire.

Our shop is open and offers something for everyone. Whether it's environmentally-friendly swaps for a more sustainable life, a gift for a loved one or an indulgence for yourself, every purchase helps us look after Greenway for everyone, for ever.

The second-hand bookshop at Greenway is open. All of the money raised through book sales go to the conservation of Greenway, so picking up a new summer read or even donating a book or two could help us to look after Greenway for ever.

Looking for the perfect gift or perhaps you're in need of some retail therapy? You can browse our full range via our online shop. Your purchases and support enable us to continue to care for the nature, beauty and history we all miss.
