Summary

edit
Description Occupying a hillside perch, overlooking the River Dart in South Devon, is Greenway House, the family home of Agatha Christie. Whilst the house is still privately occupied the <a href="http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-greenway/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">National Trust</a> was given 300 acres of gardens and farmland at the estate, 30 acres of which are being opened to the public. First mentioned in 1493, 'Greynway' was the crossing point of the River Dart to Dittisham. In the late 16th century, a Tudor mansion, Greenway Court occupied the site. Greenway House, the central block of today's building was built in the 18th century. The gardens, beautiful in all seasons and renowned for rare half-hardy plants under-planted with native wild flowers, are believed to be partially the work of prisoners from the Spanish Armada.
