This is well worth a visit for the views and if you are very lucky you will see seals laying out in the long grass at the end passed the light house is one of the propers from The Atlantic Conveyor that was sunk on its way to the Falkland Conflict

This bronze bust on a plinth is dedicated to Margaret Thatcher the British Prime Minister at the time of the Falklands conflict. The inscription says it all!

The arch was constructed in 1933 from the jawbones of two blue whales to commemorate the centenary of continuous British administration in the Falklands. It is within easy walking distance of the cruise ship terminal in Port Stanley, and is definitely worth a quick stop for a photo.

Had to return to the WWI memorial as this is how far I had got back in 82 when we were told to stop as surrender negotiations were ongoing. Nothing else to do except sit down on the wall and get a brew on. Got my photo taken at the exact same place.

Very reminiscent of the SS Great Britain, which was rescued from a similar fate, and is now a museum in it's own right, back in the dry dock in Bristol where she was built.

Curiosity took me to look at this which is not far from the Historic Museum. It's a memorial to 29 British Antarctic Survey people (including a woman) who have died in the Antarctic since the first permanent research base was established in 1944. It points towards the Narrows of Stanley's Harbour, through which the researchers would have passed on their way to the Antarctic.
8. Government House

Whilst you are able to either enter the grounds or the house you are able to take as many photos as you wish all from different angles.

Unfortunately I only had time for a quick look at these. Would like to go back for a closer look. They're on display in the gardens of a private house and are right next to the pavement.
