This was so much fun to do! Thank you so much International Agatha Christie Festival . Greenway by train and ferry really is the only way to travel! It's Chapter 1 on our tours if you'd like to know more. 🍋

Episode #6 of the Agatha Christie in Devon podcast has just dropped.

This episode celebrates Agatha Christie’s love of trains and was recorded on location aboard the Dartmouth Steam Railway. This was a route taken by Poirot in two of Christie’s novels and by the author herself when visiting her holiday home at Greenway.

Matt and Sophie also explore some of the more exotic routes featured in both her books and her own adventures, including the Orient Express.

Special guests include Maria Kerr from English Riviera Custom Tours , Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan, Mathew Prichard and author Andrew Eames.
