Over 100 tourists stuck at Agatha Christie's house for 7 hours

About a hundred tourists found themselves stranded at the former residence of renowned mystery writer Agatha Christie in Devon county, England, for several hours on Friday, July 14. Severe weather conditions had caused a tree to fall, blocking the main road leading to the Greenway property and leaving the visitors unable to leave. The National Trust, responsible for managing the historic site, promptly informed visitors through their website about the road closure caused by the fallen tree.

During their unexpected stay, the trapped tourists made the most of the situation by enjoying cups of tea and engaging in friendly rounds of croquet on the estate's lawn, as reported by CNN. Caroline Heaven, one of the tourists present, contacted local news outlet Devon Live to share the news of their predicament, estimating that around a 100 visitors were stranded within the grounds of Christie's former holiday home.
