Agatha Christie's former riverside home with woodland gardens and literary history.
Greenway House is more than just a beautiful Georgian mansion; it’s a place steeped in literary history and personal stories. Agatha Christie and her family cherished this retreat, and the house remains much as it was during her lifetime. Visitors can explore rooms filled with personal belongings, including her books, manuscripts, and even her Steinway piano. The house also features a fascinating collection of archaeological artefacts collected by her second husband, Sir Max Mallowan, during their travels.
The grounds at Greenway are equally captivating. The gardens are a mix of formal planting and wild woodland, with winding paths leading to stunning viewpoints over the River Dart. The Boathouse, which fans of Christie’s work might recognise as a setting in Dead Man’s Folly, is another highlight of the estate. With its combination of literary heritage, natural beauty, and historical significance, Greenway House is an experience suitable for visitors of all ages. Whether you’re a Christie aficionado or simply looking for a peaceful day out, there’s something at Greenway for everyone.
