If you’re a wildlife and nature lover you may be lucky enough to spot one or two roe deer, seals, wading birds and herons. The trail takes you to Greenway House, the former home of Agatha Christie with gardens which border the River Dart by the infamous boat house. The perfect spot for a cream tea. What could be more Devon than that?
Pick up the trail from the Village shop in Kingswear and follow directions to Greenway.
