Greenway- This is an extraordinary glimpse into the private holiday home of the famous and much loved author Agatha Christie and her family. The relaxed and atmospheric house is set in the 1950s and contains many of the family's collections, including archaeology, Tunbridge ware, silver, botanical china and books. Outside you can enjoy the large and romantic woodland garden, with restored vinery and peach house, wild edges and rare plantings, which drift down the hillside towards the sparkling Dart estuary. Please consider 'green ways' to get here to relieve pressure on the lanes: for example ferry, bus, cycling or walking.
