Experience some of the places and environments that galvanised Agatha Christie to write some of her most famous (and not so famous) novels including “The Mysterious Affair at Styles”, “The Sittaford Mystery”, “And Then there were none”.
During this informative and fun day we’ll visit Agatha’s birthplace, windswept Dartmoor, the magnificent Hay Tor (legs and fitness allowing we’ll scale to its peak) the infamous Dartmoor prison and the spectacular Burgh Island to name but a few. All these locations are synonymous with one or moor of her books. Couple this with stunning landscapes, unrivalled coastlines and hopefully the odd Dartmoor pony and you too will embrace just some of what inspired her to put pen to paper.
This is a unique opportunity to learn a little moor about this famous writer but also to touch and feel this very special corner of England.

Extraordinary!!!
“I seldom write reviews but I had to write one for the experience we had recently with Devon & Moor Walking and Driving Tours . It rained relentlessly on the day of the tour but it turned out to be one of the most memorable days in recent memory. All credit must go to Nigel, our tour guide, who was so knowledgeable, enthusiastic and understanding. He tailored our trip to suit our physical needs and interest. I was not keen to walk on a slippery surface so I could sit comfortably in his Landrover and admire the stunning scenery and take some amazing photos while Nigel took my children up the hill to look at the habitat which has existed few centuries. The highlight however was the discovery of the rather rare Majestic Highland Cows which don’t always appear but due to Nigel’s diligence and passion for his craft he managed to find them for us. Thank you very much Nigel for making the ordinary tour to EXTRAORDINARY!!”
