Agatha's Interesting Connection to Kents Cavern
The legendary crime writer, who was born in Torquay, found inspiration in these ancient caves, incorporating them into her 1924 novel The Man in the Brown Suit. In the book, she reimagined Kents Cavern as "Hampsley Cavern," accurately describing its mysterious atmosphere and even referencing the archaeological discoveries found here.

Christie's ties to Kents Cavern ran even deeper. Her father, Frederick Miller, was a member of the Torbay Natural History Society and played a role in funding excavations of the caves. His support contributed to uncovering the rich prehistoric past that Christie later wove into her fiction.
