Greenway

We're celebrating 10 years of Greenway House being open with a season of festivals. The Camellia Festival kicked off the celebrations in March, the first ever Greenway Literary Festival was held in May and to close will be an autumn Tea Festival.

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.

In the house at Greenway see Agatha Christie and her family's extensive collections, hear clips of Agatha and her grandson Mathew speaking, delve through scrapbooks and much more.

On Saturday 14 September, 11am - 4pm, a 1950s style fête inspired by Agatha Christie's 'Dead Man's Folly' will be taking place in the Walled Garden. Try your hand at the classic coconut shy, browse the pre-loved stall or enter the fun dog show. There's a special ferry ticket so why not make a day of it and travel upriver?

This autumn families can catch falling leaves in the garden, play tennis, complete spotter trails in the house and garden and much more.

There’s plenty of outdoor activities to do all year round at Greenway, from starting a nature diary to creating some wild art. Find out about all of the activities you can do on this handy list.

A walk through the relaxed woodland garden is filled with the sound of leaves crunching underfoot and glimpses of the River Dart.

Sitting on the edge of the River Dart means there's some greener ways to get to Greenway. Canoe to us, hop on the ferry or step aboard a steam train. Greenway also operates a pre-booked parking system, so if visiting by car you will need to book your space in advance.

Dogs on short leads are very welcome in the grounds at Greenway; there are water bowls and tethering rings available in the courtyard, and dog treats waiting to be given out in Visitor Reception.

A moderate 2.5 mile walk from Galmpton via Coombe Lane is perfect for walkers, cyclists and horse riders alike.

This walk from Galmpton to Greenway follows a permissive bridleway along quiet country lanes and through woodland, and is good for walkers, horse riders and cyclists alike.

The walk to Greenway from Galmpton via Mill Lane takes in great views over the River Dart, and even goes along a beach foreshore. When the tide is in you may need to take off your socks and shoes to wade through the river for a short while, but when the tide is out it's a more straightforward walk.

On Thursday 26 September and Friday 25 October the rangers will be leading a walk through the garden to see the autumn colour. They'll be talking about the work that they do to care for the wildlife too.

Whether your choice of tea is a delicate white of Japan or a typical builder’s brew, the autumn tea festival is the perfect way to discover your new favourite.

You can tuck into a tasty one pot lunch or add something sweet to your coffee order in the Barn Café. With indoor and outdoor seating, it's an ideal spot to relax during a visit.

Pick up the perfect souvenir of your visit to Greenway from the shop. From classic Agatha Christie books and new releases, to memorabilia and items for your home and garden. We've got you covered for gifts, local produce and indulgent treats.

Pupils from Galmpton carry on a traditional link between Greenway and their school by tending to an allotment in the Walled Garden. Once the vegetables have been harvested, the kids come for a celebration with their parents and enjoy the fruits of their labours with a delicious dinner.

A project has been taking place to restore the Boathouse, to keep this iconic building which was the scene of the crime in 'Dead Man's Folly' at its best.

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.
