As well as exuberant plantings, the gardens celebrate Torquay's most famous resident Agatha Christie through the 'Potent Plants Garden', where you will be intrigued and surprised by the range of beautiful but sinister plants on show. We then spend some time at leisure in the thriving resort of Torquay with its iconic palm trees and busy harbour.
WEDNESDAY A day in Dartmouth today, starting with a 30 minute cruise along the beautiful river Dart passing some of the most picturesque scenery, as we meander our way downstream to Agatha Christie’s Greenway House, following in the footsteps of Poirot, who also landed at Greenway Quay in “Dead Man’s Folly”. A five minute stroll from the Quay leads us to Greenway, the beloved holiday home of famous author Agatha Christie and her family. Enjoy an extraordinary glimpse of this atmospheric house containing many of the family's collections, as well as the large and romantic woodland garden. We include a return journey on the ferry, departing hourly from Greenway Quay, so you can return to Dartmouth at your convenience, for time at leisure before your return journey to the hotel via coach.

FRIDAY We depart after breakfast to commence our homeward journey, making suitable stops en route.
