Greenway

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. Find out about the different areas to explore, and what the garden is like throughout the seasons.

Why not check out the walks through the countryside to Greenway? There are different walks to choose from, which you could combine to make into a circular walk, as well as trails to follow through the garden.

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.

The café is open daily, 10.30am-4pm, serving a limited range of takeaway hot and cold drinks and some light snacks. We’ve introduced new safety measures including closure of our seating areas, screens at our till and collection points, and waymarked routes. We’ll also only be accepting card payment. In line with government guidelines you're required to wear a face covering: please bring one with you.

From 3 August you'll be able to get 50 per cent off your bill, up to a maximum of £10 per person on food and drink bought at and consumed at our café (excluding alcoholic drinks), through the government's Eat Out to Help Out Scheme. The scheme applies from Monday to Wednesdays only and ends on 31 August.

As we gradually and safely open more of the places we care for, there’ll be more opportunities to explore gardens and parklands near you. If you’re a member, you can access all these places free, together with most National Trust car parks. It’s so important for everyone to have fresh air, birdsong, big skies and open spaces to enjoy. Your membership will go towards looking after all of this for generations to come.

For 125 years, people like you have helped us protect some of the UK's best-loved places. Everyone needs nature, beauty and green spaces now more than ever. But our income has dropped sharply due to the coronavirus crisis, and our essential conservation work is at risk. Please give what you can to help us look after these places, so people and nature can thrive.

As Agatha Christie's holiday home, Greenway inspired a murder mystery or two. Find out about the places at Greenway which feature in her story 'Dead Man's Folly,' and how true to life it is.

Agatha Christie was known locally by her married name, Mrs Mallowan, and her time spent at her holiday home, Greenway, was all about quality time with the family, away from the public eye. Find out about their time here, and watch a video for a virtual tour of the house.

In the Library is Greenway’s unexpected treasure; a frieze painted during World War Two by Lt Marshall Lee, a member of the US. Coast Guard stationed at the house in the run up to the D Day landings. Find out about the history of this.

Nestled on the edge of Greenway garden, this six-sleeping holiday cottage used to be the head gardener's home. The light and airy rooms, views over the River Dart down to Kingswear, and cosy furniture, create a perfect retreat.

Set just inside the Greenway entrance, the Greenway Lodge is a perfect base from which to explore the English Riviera. This two-sleeper cottage is intimate with romantic touches such as a wood fire and courtyard garden.

This holiday cottage is traditional from the outside but has a modern feel on the inside and a superb riverside location. The two double bedrooms have uninterrupted views across the River Dart towards the village of Dittisham, and downstairs provides space to relax and enjoy this wonderful setting.
