Following the beautiful English Riviera coastline, the tour highlights include:

• Sit with Agatha and her favourite dog Peter at her new sculpture
• Commit a ‘murder’ in front of Agatha’s bust!
• Hear the story of the Pavilion and why it was, and will continue to be, very closely connected to Agatha
• Walk along the pier where she would roller skate with her friends.
• And stand on the exact spot where Agatha posed for a photo
• See the hotel where she spent her honeymoon
• Discover how a chance encounter in Torquay with a retired Belgian police inspector inspired Hercule Poirot.
• Learn how she became a writer, drawing on her inspiration from the English Riviera and the Middle East to create her legendary characters and plots.
• Find out about the medieval village in Torquay that inspired St Mary Mead
• We will discuss her enormous contribution in both World Wars.
• And of course, no tour would be complete without touching on Agatha’s disappearance in 1926!
