Located in Devon, England, Greenway, the holiday home of Agatha Christie is owned and cared for by the National Trust.
This relaxed and atmospheric house is set in the 1950s, when Agatha and her family would spend summers and Christmases here with friends, relaxing by the river, playing croquet and clock golf, and reading her latest mystery to their guests. The family were great collectors, and the house is filled with an important and varied collection of ceramics, Tunbridgeware, silver, and books, including first editions of her novels. It is also home to archaeological artefacts acquired in the Middle East where Agatha accompanied her husband, archaeologist Max Mallowan on excavations.
Agatha Christie called Greenway “the loveliest place in the world” and treasured it as a holiday home for her and her family. It’s easy to imagine Agatha and her family spending relaxed summer days or cosy Christmas holidays here. Everywhere you turn in the house there’s an item waiting to speak to you about its history.
