Or if that's hot with you, even. Dartmouth down in Southern Devon has its own steam railway line, privately owned, and it's a great one. It begins in a lovely part of the old city with a station that we have used on a number of occasions and will probably continue to do so in future. I like it and I think it's well-designed and perfectly located for tourists, and there's a little parking nearby too if you drive like we did. It's a grand little old steam train, and is one of the prettiest in the country, not only Devon, and most stations in most towns along this little route are a little way out of the beautiful centres, and utterly gorgeous!

Rather overpriced, but an essential attraction. Good old fashioned fun, steam everywhere..no not a…read moretoga party..rail as It used to be, complete with toot toot. Make sure you check times before turning up as they vary between seasons and days of the week. Dartmouth is a lovely place to visit and getting there by steam train then boat is a fine old way to travel. The trains are between 60 and 90 years old!

The total journey time from Paignton to Kingswear is about half an hour. Then we went onto the ferry from Kinsgwear to Dartmouth. The journey was very nice and was th highlight of our holiday! It's quite expensive though, £37.50 for a family of 4 for a return ticket although that included the train and the ferry. Not something you'd want to do too often but a lovely way to get to Dartmouth.

Reaching the house once leaving the ferry is a bit of a trek uphill so make sure you have comfortable walking shoes on. Entry price is around £9 each but they do pretty much guilt you into making a 10% donation to Gift Aid (which is added to the entry price without asking and most people are too embarrassed to ask for this to be removed). The staff also try to sell you National Trust membership which is rather annoying as this really slows down the queue to get in. Once inside you can get some food in the café/restaurant although the prices are quite steep and the queues and service are horrendously slow. You can explore the grounds at your leisure and includes lovely views which you can imagine enthralled Agatha Christie as a child. Entering Greenway House is a lovely experience with the tour guides telling you that you enter as a visitor through the front door and leave via the back door as a friend of the family. Each room in the house can be explored at your own pace. There are items from Agatha Christie's childhood and later life in every room from dolls to books to diaries to items she collected and her piano and music that she wrote. You are not allowed to take photos inside the house. All in all a visit to the house shouldn't take longer than 2-3 hours maximum. A worthwhile experience for fans of Agatha Christie.

Beautiful grounds and a amazing staff. Loved walking the gardens and down to the boathouse!read more
