Heritage explorer spotter trail

Celebrate the Festival of Archaeology with this self-led heritage explore spotter trail.

  • Booking not needed
  • Free event (admission applies)

Agatha Christie and her husband Max Mallowan spent their days on archaeological digs, sharing a common love for the past. But it's not just their finds which you can discover at Greenway. Every where you look there are unusual and fascinating features that hint at Greenway's past.

You can discover more on this fun, family-oriented self-led trail around the garden. Inside the house, take a closer look at some of Agatha and Max's finds on their digs, and have a go at dressing up like an Archaeologist.
