The River Dart & Greenway estate

A return boat trip up the River Dart to Greenway.

Greenway is an estate on the River Dart in Devon, England. It was first mentioned in 1493 as "Greynway", the crossing point of the Dart to Dittisham. In the late 16th century a Tudor mansion called Greenway Court. The present Georgian house was probably built in the late 18th century and extended by subsequent owners.

Greenway was bought by Agatha Christie and her husband Max Mallowan in 1938. The house was used as a summer holiday home by Christie and Mallowan until their deaths in 1976 and 1978 respectively, and featured, under various guises, in several of Christie's novels most notably the Poirot mystery "Dead Man's Folly" (Filming of which commences next week on location here).

The boat house of Greenway Estate is described as the spot where the first victim is discovered, and the nearby ferry landing serves as the place where the second real murder victim is dragged into the water for death by drowning.
