Nestled in a sub-tropical garden overlooking the River Dart,
Greenway has an exceptional and enviable location. It certainly
caught the eye of Agatha Christie, who knew the area as a child
and, having made her name as a world-famous crime-writer, made it
her holiday home. Nestled in a sub-tropical garden overlooking the
River Dart, Greenway has an exceptional and enviable location. It
certainly caught the eye of Agatha Christie, who knew the area as a
child and, having made her name as a world-famous crime-writer,
made it her holiday home. Greenway was the familys retreat, far
from public life. Her grandson, Mathew Prichard who has provided
the guidebooks foreword, remembers visits to Greenway usually took
place when she had just finished writing her book, so it was family
time; or in Agathas words, We do exactly as we like in this house.
This included entertaining, playing the piano and reading, and
delighting in the setting, playing croquet and clock golf. Max and
Agatha were enthusiastic collectors and the fruits of their labours
are proudly displayed throughout the house. Greenway now stands as
a near complete echo of those leisurely days and a testament to why
Agatha Christie described it as the loveliest place in the world it
quite takes my breath away.
