About

The Agatha Christie Experience

A coastal escape inspired by the Queen of Crime

Step into the pages of history and mystery with a two-night literary escape on the English Riviera.

Follow in the footsteps of Agatha Christie — from the elegant seafronts of Torquay to her beloved Greenway House on the River Dart. This curated stay combines storytelling, stunning scenery, and seaside luxury, bringing you closer to the life and legacy of the world’s most famous crime writer.

Whether you're a lifelong fan or simply intrigued by Devon's most famous daughter, this is an experience designed to delight and inspire.

 

The Details

Start your experience in Torquay (Agatha Christie's place of birth) where our local tour guide Graham Kerr from English Riviera Walking tours will take you on her cultural journey highlighting the ebb and flow of her extraordinary life.

We then invite you to discover the stunning National Trust Greenway House located in Galmpton where Agatha spent most of her summer holidays and felt inspired by the true beauty of the majestic gardens overlooking the River Dart.
