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 October album or here for January , February, or March and see what’s been happening since the start of the year. Then there are albums of photos for 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 it stands for.
TheViewFromTheDartmouthOffice.com is now getting 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 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.
18 months ago, FRoST, the Friends of St Thomas’s church in Kingswear produced a jigsaw from one of TVFTDO’s pictures.
The production run has now sold out and so no more are available. Funds have been raised and everyone is happy. More happy than most are my parents who have finally finished the wretched thing (their words).
It turns out to have been one of the hardest jigsaws ever. For a while there I wasn’t the most popular person.
If you click the pic you’ll be taken to the August 2010 album which has got loads of interesting pix including this one.
The boat is the M/Y Black & White.

If you’ve ever wondered what anchored all the buoys to the river bed, wonder no more, here’s your answer: a bloody huge lump of concrete. Mind you, I’m still not clear what anchors the four main buoys, the yellow cans in the centre of the river which somehow manage to hold some of the worlds largest cruise ships in place.
Dartmouth.tv’s own lively Facebook page which keeps you up to date with what’s happening in the town. Lots of news and gossip.

We would rather not have telephone lines all over the place in Above Town. But they can be made to look pretty in the right light.

Some of you will have heard and felt the jet that passed through on Thursday. I was lucky enough to see the Hawk trainer. Just.

I was also lucky enough to see nearly two dozen swans flying upriver. Now that’s rare.

A bit of drama on Friday when two of the Harbour Patrol set off out of the river at a rate of knots. This is the second vessel, it’s worth looking inside to see other pix. The speedboat in question was brought in but word has it there was a possibility of fire. No chances being taken.

After the midweek incident where one of the Lower Ferries lost power (and allegedly her prop too) she was out of the water for less than half a day for the very quick repairs. Not exactly Formula One pit stop speed, but fast enough.

Reunited. Whether they like it or not. The Fairmile made its first trip of the season on Friday and here passes its rival the PS Kingswear Castle.
We’re just happy that these two magnificent historical vessels are here.
Thursday Good Friday Not So Good Saturday

It’s becoming a regular thing - the Torbay lifeboat delivering stricken craft into Dartmouth. This fishing boat, called Maryeared was drifting without power south of the rivermouth. Once again the RNLI came to the rescue.
