Every picture on this website is taken from our office garden in Dartmouth in Devon, England
Views of Dartmouth as seen from our office. Living and working from home in Dartmouth, Devon we have an unrivalled vista. Not a day goes by without something of interest happening in front of us. Being a keen photographer I have been taking pictures from this one place for eight years and previously these were displayed on a Facebook page. As it’s our office and it’s in Dartmouth, it’s called The View From The Dartmouth Office. Now I have set up this dedicated website to replace the Facebook page and hopefully promote this lovely town as a place to come and live and work from home. There’s a long old learning curve about building a website, so bear with me as things progress. The site is 4 years old now and I’m still a novice. But if it’s photographs of Dartmouth you’re looking for, you’ve come to the right place. Pictures of Kingswear too. The sky, the river, the boats.
Most days produce pictures and so with luck the site will have an update each day adding new scenes. There are now quite a few specialised albums as well as the monthly diary type galleries. Gradually older photos are being added but captioning those takes time. Some of the older photographs already have captions which were done for the Facebook page, but Facebook mysteriously lost a load, so I’ll attempt to recall them or better still improve upon the info and humour.
Use the links at the top of the page to access the other picture albums, or click the pix and links on the right.
All photographs are copyright of Andy Kyle. But if you want to use a pic for a non-commercial website then please do, but please credit and link back to the home page of this site. And an email to say you have done it. No other use permitted without my expressed agreement.
This was not your normal sunrise. See it large in the September album.
Click the pic for lots more photos from September.
Or for a sunrise special, take a look at The Point of Sunrise
And click here for the photos from Regatta and here for August’s pictures.
If you’re a new visitor, take your time and look around. Click any of the big pix to go to the album of the month. Then there are albums of photos for 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and much of 2009. If you’re looking for double rainbows, click here. But don’t miss the Pick of TVFTDO.com. Go on, guess what TVFTDO stands for.
TheViewFromTheDartmouthOffice.com gets emails from all around the world from visitors to the site (thus far exceedingly complimentary). Marios wrote: “I believe you have the best office in the world man. It's like watching National Geographic every day, all day.”
Who am I to argue? Ian in Hobart said: “entering the Dart was like gliding into a 3D postcard filled with heritage, history and wall-to-wall nautical magic”
What a fabulous description of this marvelous place.

Can you believe it ? A couple of unnecessaries out on the river in December. To give them (minimal) credit, they did avoid serious fuel wastage until they were closish to the castles. Strange thing is, despite being 200 yards away I could clearly hear what they were saying (okay, shouting) to each other. It was nothing interesting. But you knew that.
THE VIEW FROM THE DARTMOUTH OFFICE

Chatty, informative and very current.

This week has been enlivened by two or three visits a day from this two seater Spitfire which has been running £2,500 rides to those lucky few who can afford a flight. And more importantly have the stomach for it. Great to watch. Great to listen.

Meanwhile, over in Kingswear, way up high, we can just see the roof of a large property being constructed on Higher Contour road.
The architects drawings look stunning. But it’ll never be as stunning as the location.

There’s an amazing amount of building work going on - both sides of the river. Work started on this house nearly a year ago.
TVFTDO is keeping a progress album.

At Darthaven, the old boat lift is being retired. Whilst the new lift helps an old friend.
And dismantled. One of the Lower Ferry tugs.

The parade of classic craft looked better than ever.

Crew from the TS Royalist went aloft to hang the bunting. Okay, I know, it’s called ‘dressing the ship’.

Dart RNLI will soon be getting their own B class craft. Here’s their practice boat being put through its paces at Regata.

It’s in the very early hours. Quite clearly, it’s the still of the night.
Look at those reflections. Like...a...mill....pond.

The inevitable moaners going on about the lack of a decent size Navy guardship were soon put in their place
with the heritage sailing line-up that more than replaced a boring grey ship.

Time for one more snap of the rather talented Mr Prestwood.
Loads more pix of this and regatta inside. Check out both the August and September albums.

And his nighttime show was even more spectacular.
