Drift back into the style and opulence of the Jazz Age as you retrace the steps of the world’s best-selling author along Torquay’s seafront. Starting at either the Imperial Hotel or the Grand Hotel, the Agatha Christie Mile takes you to some of the places that were inspirational in her life and works, with seven unique plaques to find along way.

Torquay Museum – Home to the UK’s only dedicated Agatha Christie Gallery, you’ll find lots of props used in the ITV adaptations of Agatha Christie’s Poirot, including Poirot’s desk, furniture and fireplace from his London Art Deco apartment and his iconic walking stick, one of Miss Marple’s outfits and some of the author’s personal effects and first edition novels. Agatha’s father was a member of Torquay Natural History Society, later to become Torquay Museum.
