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 Train Of Lights. What a great idea.
Do note that every photo is taken from one spot - our garden in Above Town, Dartmouth, Devon
Up to date info from the people wot know.
Chatty, informative and very current.

A good run out for our new lifeboat to rescue the crew of a stranded craft.

More mayhem than usual on Kingswear’s roads. Not just hundreds of builders, but a complete road resurfacing going on.

And if you were wondering what was lifting the ramp above, and I’m sure you were, it was this lad. The Walcon Wizard.
Used his magic maybe.

Is the river Dart about to get the services of a larger Pilot boat ?

What a great idea. The Paignton to Kingswear Train of Lights looks like being a rather popular attraction.

Darthaven gets a replacement ramp down to the pontoons.
In the background is loco 5H37 which later towed the train of lights.

Quite a month of chopper activity. Chinooks are almost as rare as Apache’s.

Talking of construction....over in Kingswear first we have the destruction. And so another house bites the dust.
Blame the VAT man. There’s no VAT on a new build.

Rather different night lights down at the Warfleet riverside construction site.
It even makes a building site look attractive.

On Monday night the first sneak preview (okay, so everyone in Dartmouth could have seen it. The Train of Lights as towed by their diesel loco. And coming properly at the weekend.

Tuesday night and we got the full works, steam and all. This is The Train Of Lights which wil be running from Paignton to Kingswear (via the technicolour tunnel and the enchanted forest) and promises to be a huge draw this December.
