What you'll do

This relaxed walking tour is designed to entertain and inform
There will be plenty of opportunities for photographs and test your tour guide's knowledge (as he will test yours!). The route follows Torquay's beautiful sea front, past locations that Agatha would have known well and influenced her writing, such as The Pavilion, the Princess Pier and Torre Abbey. We also stop at Agatha's bust and her new memorial seat. Whether you're young or old, a super fan or simply have a passing interest in Agatha, you won't fail be to impressed by her achievements. She wrote The Mousetrap (the longest running play in the world); she's the most translated author; the world's greatest crime writer, who has sold 2 billions novels...and always wrote as a woman - quite extraordinary!
