Agatha Christie’s Riviera<br />
Agatha Christie, Queen of Crime, was born in Torquay in 1890. Her beloved<br />
<strong>Devon</strong> inspired more than 20 of her novels and you can follow in Agatha<br />
Christie’s footsteps along the Literary Trail or board a ferry to Greenway, her<br />
holiday home on the banks of the River Dart. Make sure you visit the Potent<br />
Plants Garden at Torre Abbey and Torquay Museum with its dedicated<br />
Agatha Christie Gallery.<br />

Britain’s Seafood Coast<br />
From award winning fish and chip restaurants to Michelin starred fine dining,<br />
the English Riviera has a wide choice of culinary experiences to be had, all in<br />
stunning surroundings. Taste the highest quality local Brixham fish, served<br />
just hours after it was caught – you can’t get fresher than that!<br />
