Greenway Ferry Service
The Greenway Ferry Service offers a scenic and enjoyable way for visitors to travel between Dartmouth and Greenway, the former holiday home of Agatha Christie. Crossing the River Dart, the ferry journey is short but memorable, providing beautiful views of wooded banks, historic buildings and passing boats along one of Devon’s most picturesque waterways.
The ferry is a popular choice for tourists visiting Greenway, as it removes the need for driving and parking while adding an extra layer of charm to the day out. As you glide upriver from Dartmouth, the peaceful atmosphere and ever-changing river scenery set the tone for a relaxed visit to the National Trust property.
On arrival at Greenway Quay, visitors can walk up through the woodland to reach the house and gardens, which are rich in literary history and riverside beauty. The ferry service operates seasonally and is well coordinated with opening times, making it a convenient and stress-free option for those planning their visit.
Whether you’re an Agatha Christie fan or simply looking to enjoy the River Dart from the water, the Greenway Ferry Service is a delightful part of the experience. It combines practical transport with scenic river views, making the journey as enjoyable as the destination itself for tourists exploring South Devon.
