Greenway House: Agatha Christie's Secret Riverside Retreat

Step inside Agatha Christie's beloved holiday home on the Dart estuary, left exactly as she kept it — a time-capsule of golden-age glamour, rare books, and silver. Arrive by the same ferry she used; depart with stories only locals know.

What to expect

The 1950s Regatta Room still holds Christie's collection of silverware and first editions, arranged as if she has just stepped out. Gardens spill down to the Dart, where the private boathouse hides the rowing dinghy scenes that inspired her fiction. A National Trust expert guide brings Christie's private life vividly to life. Finish with cream tea in the coach house café overlooking the river.

Good to know

Pre-book a timed entry online — spots sell out weeks ahead in summer. The Greenway Ferry departs from Dartmouth's town quay (a 5-min walk from tender landing); crossings run every 30–45 min. Allow 3–4 hours; all-aboard times typically allow this with ease if you catch the morning ferry.
