Dartmouth is a town and harbour located in Agatha Christie's home county of Devon. Greenway, Agatha Christie's holiday home for many years, is just upriver from Dartmouth. Tour boats from Dartmouth frequently depart from Dartmouth on the river Dart going upriver to Greenway and sometimes call at Greenway pier, a scenic way for visitors to get to Greenway.
