Greenway is the Georgian house on the River Dart that served as Agatha Christie's holiday home, with a 1950s interior and many personal artefacts from her collection still on display. Reviewers - Christie fans and non-fans alike - enjoy the lush gardens down to the river, and several mention wartime history from the house's use during WW2.
Worth the trip
The 1950s interior, preserved with many of Agatha Christie's own artefacts and personal collection on display.
Before you go
Tickets need booking in advance, dogs aren't allowed inside the house (though welcome elsewhere on the grounds), and there are steep hills that may be difficult for prams or mobility scooters.
Reviewers consistently highlight Greenway as Agatha Christie's former holiday home, with her personal collection and the 1950s interior drawing strong praise even from visitors who are not particular fans of her writing. The boathouse, featured in a Poirot mystery, and the walled gardens with views over the River Dart are called out repeatedly as highlights, alongside a well-signposted mix of accessible and more challenging walking routes. Parking must be pre-booked and is limited to a maximum stay, and steep hills in parts of the grounds are flagged as potentially difficult for prams or mobility scooters. Ticket prices are generally considered reasonable value, particularly for National Trust members.

“Loved my birthday visit to Agatha's holiday home. I've always wanted to visit! Dog friendly except in the house which was fine. A bit pricey but good if you are a National trust member.”- Jules Gee, visitor review
