Devon's Past Mysteries Revealed
Devon's Past Mysteries Revealed
Tour Overview
With its mysterious isles along the coast, bewitching landscapes and houses full of secrets, it’s no wonder that beautiful Devon has inspired writers for hundreds of years. Coleton Fishacre’s 30s opulence (and bottle of suspicious poison in the Butler’s pantry!) instantly transports us to the pages of an Agatha Christie novel, and our celebration of the Queen of Crime continues throughout this special break. We discover her beloved holiday retreat of Greenway, indulge in afternoon tea at the beautiful Art Deco Burgh Island Hotel, where she penned two of her most famous novels, and enjoy a Head Gardener-led tour of Torre Abbey’s award-winning gardens, home to a number of poisonous plants connected to Christie and her stories. During our enthralling exploration of Devon’s past, we also discover nautical Plymouth and atmospheric Drake’s Island, learning all about its curious history of smuggling, mutinies and more.
