Agatha Underground
Join us as we embark through Hampsley Cavern....
About The Tour
Step into the world of Agatha Christie with this specialist cave tour, created in celebration of the International Agatha Christie Festival.
Discover the real-life inspiration behind Hampsley Cavern from The Man in the Brown Suit, as we explore the very chambers that once captured the imagination of a young Agatha.
Wander through the same passageways she once visited, and uncover how these ancient caves may have sparked her enduring fascination with archaeology, mystery, and the hidden stories beneath our feet!
Following your tour, you'll enjoy a traditional Devonshire cream tea in our cafe, just as Agatha would have enjoyed it (raspberry jam instead of strawberry!).
We look forward to welcoming you all to 'Hampsley Cavern'...
Meet Your Tour Guide
