Things to see and do
Whether it's exploring the woodland garden each season, discovering how the team looks after the house or finding a new bedtime read in the second-hand bookshop, there's fun rain or shine.
Inside the house, there's a sensory station to help you make the most of your visit, and a fun family friend trail inspired by Agatha Christie and her travels. Can you help them find all the items they need? Pick up the packing list trail, clipboard and pencil at the house entrance.
From the Boathouse quay you could count the boats on the river or try and spot signs of wildlife. When the Boathouse is open, there's binoculars to help see seals, swans and birds. At the Battery the cannon always captures little-one's imaginations – can they defend Greenway from attack by river pirates?
