For years when visiting my parents in the Livermead area of Torquay – we often saw the Agatha Christie Bus as it meandered through the seafront. For reasons we cannot fathom, we never caught this bus and had no idea of Galmpton Village! Even when we visited the Torquay Museum – we did not notice anything about this village. On this occasion, however, we booked into a chalet park just on the edge of Galmpton Village and this has allowed us to easily visit the village inbetween the terrential rainfall that has been going on since our arrival.
Although we had booked today (December 27th, 2023) to visit Agatha Christie’s house (Greenway) nearby – we just received an email notification that due to the bad weather – the house is currently ‘Closed’! Although there is a storm blowing – many Agatha Christie enthusiasts have still made their way here – one or two from as far away as Japan! Still, we are not exactly Agatha Christie fans, but we are interested in history and cultural development. Yesterday, the wind and rain stopped for an hour or two and this allowed myself and Gee to walk the dogs through Galmpton Village. It seems to be a place where rich people retire and the envious walk through.
