For Greenway House & Garden
Visit the
Devonshire
Home
of
Agatha
Christie
The gardens are home to over 2,700 species of trees
and plants which are just waiting to be discovered.
This relaxed and atmospheric house is set in the 1950s,
when Agatha and her family would spend summers and
Christmastime here with friends, relaxing by the river,
playing croquet and clock golf and reading her latest
mystery to their guests.
The family were great collectors and the house
is filled with archaeology, Tunbridge Ware, silver,
botanical china and books.
The gardens are home to over 2,700
species of trees and plants...
Why not follow the route that Agatha Christie
would have taken by boarding the steam train to
Churston and then travel along the picturesque
country lanes to her treasured holiday home? The
shuttle bus coordinates with the train timetable, it
is disabled friendly and drops you at the entrance.
Alternatively, if you are feeling a little more
adventurous, you can board the steam train to
Greenway Halt and take the 30 minute walk to the
estate, (sturdy footwear is recommended). Either
way you will be guaranteed a warm welcome.

Sitting on the banks of the beautiful River Dart with
simply stunning views, Greenway House and Garden is
run by The National Trust. Formerly the holiday home
of Agatha Christie and her family, it holds the family
collection of the famous author.
Don’t miss...
The Peach House
The views from the Top
Garden over the river are
breathtaking
In the garden don’t miss the large and romantic
woodland which drifts down the hillside towards
the sparkling Dart estuary. The walled gardens are
home to the restored peach house and vinery, as well
as an allotment cared for by local school children. A
visit to Greenway isn’t complete without seeing the
Boathouse, scene of the crime in Dead Man’s Folly,
and the battery complete with cannon.
For railway and bus enquiries, please call 01803 555872
The frieze in the library is
an unexpected show stopper
The boathouse - the perfect
place to relax by the river
The barn gallery above the
café

her husband Max Mallowan’s
