Greenway House and Gardens
Greenway Road Galmpton Devon TQ5 0ES
Greenway was author Agatha Christie and her husband’s holiday home for over 20 years. The house dates back to 1493, but it has only recently been opened to visitors and is now presented much as it was in the 1950s, with many of the family’s collections of books, china, silverware and other memorabilia. The wild and romantic garden is stunning, with woodland rolling down the hillside towards the beautiful Dart Estuary. There’s a licensed café and a shop selling Agatha Christie books, local crafts, and plants. By far the best way to arrive is to take the Greenway ferry from Dartmouth or the ferry from Dittisham (just ring the bell on the quay). If coming by car, you have to pre-book parking.
