Agatha Christie's Holiday Home welcomes Lerryn WI

Wednesday 29th September 2010

The National Trust property "Greenway" on the River Dart was the venue for Lerryn WI's autumn outing on Saturday 25th September.  Members and their guests enjoyed a splendid day, with perfect weather for their visit, which started with a tour of the house.  NT staff were very welcoming and helpful and were on hand in every room to answer questions about the house and Agatha Christie's family holidays.  It was very evident from the many family collections and artifacts, that this was a truly relaxing family holiday home and this was also reinforced by the live piano playing throughout the tour.  After a leisurely lunch, members then had a guided tour of the garden, learning many tips from the head gardener, and some even managed the walk down to the boathouse at the river's edge before the steep climb back up and a photo shoot (above) before climbing back on board LAMA's minibus for the drive back home to Lerryn.
