Destination Unknown!


On the 15th September 1890, Agatha Mary Clarissa Miller was born at Ashfield, in Torquay. In 1914, Agatha married Archie Christie, and they honeymooned at the Grand Hotel overlooking Torbay. It is not hard to find (The Murder on the) links to the most famous crime writer that ever lived, all over the English Riviera and beyond. She used many local landmarks in her 66 full length novels and 14 short story collections, and on this tour, we include more than The Big Four. In fact, we can cover as many as time permits. Depending on which Christie locations you would like to visit and how much time you would like to spend there, we will devise a final itinerary based on your wishes. For those super, super fans out there, feel free to extend this tour! The options are endless (Night).






Tour Highlights:
Agatha Christie Mile - 3.4 miles in fact!
Imperial Hotel - The Body in the Library
Torre Abbey - home to the Potent Plants Garden. Over half of Agatha's victims were poisoned
Site of Ashfield - where a blue plaque stands in its place
Cockington Village - thought to be the inspiration for St Mary Mead
Greenway - beloved holiday home - Dead Man's Folly, Five Little Pigs
Burgh Island - a day in itself if you choose to indulge in afternoon tea - Evil Under the Sun, And Then There Were None
Visiting in September? Then join us at the International Agatha Christie Festival. It's packed full of exciting events, such as the mile-long sea swim, a murder mystery aboard the steam train, a murder mystery boat trip around Torquay Harbour plus talks by world-famous authors. Many events sell out quickly, so early notice is essential.

Enjoy an afternoon tea at the Imperial or Grand Hotel, each boast spectacular sea views. If you enjoy fine dining then why not let us book you in at Simon Hulstone's The Elephant. Slightly more relaxed, is the No 7 Fish Bistro and Wine Bar, or maybe you would rather grab some fresh seafood from The Dressed Crab and dine alfresco. Greenway has its own cafe, serving homemade scones, and of course, we can always book you in at Burgh Island for that once-in-a-lifetime experience.
