........very brief but well worth the time. Our guide explained the significance of this area to us and the role it played in the war. Very evocative.

It is a relative short bus ride from downtown to Gypsy Cove for you to enjoy the sights. You will see a number of penguins as well a number of other birds, and sea life - if you travel in by Cruise ship, you will see your ship anchored in the bay as well. It is well worth the modest bus ticket cost to walk and see Gypsy Cove.
4. Christ Church Cathedral

Reviewed By Amjar1 - Lakeville, United States
According to the Port Stanley Tourist Board, Christ Church is the most southerly Anglican cathedral in the world, and was consecrated in 1892 by the first Bishop of the Falkland Islands, Waite Hockin Stirling. This historic building features a cathedral tower with a ring of five bells, 19th and 20th-century stained glass windows and a two manual pipe organ built in Ireland. In addition, there are also locally-stitched needlepoint hassocks with scenes relating to the church and life on the Islands along with a collection of historic memorabilia. When open, you can visit at no charge, though a donation towards the maintenance of the building is highly recommended.
5. 1982 Liberation Memorial

No visit to the Falkland Islands and its capital Stanley would be complete without visiting the 1982 memorial. Easy access and on the sea front pretty much in the centre of Stanley. Well maintained and a fitting memorial to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in liberating these islands from illegal occupation in 1982.

This is a lovely bay with pole white sands we went for a paddle but you need to be very hardy to take the plunge in the south Atlantic

I helped build this cemetery in early 1983 as part of 2 Troop 51 Field Squadron (construction) Royal Engineers. We exhumed the bodies from around Goose Green and Darwin, and with the aid of the War Graves commission and undertakers from the UK, we attempted to identify every body, all the time treating them with care and dignity right up to the time they were reinterred in the War Graves. The official ceremony was very touching, and I plead that all those who do go to visit to please remember the situation that caused those men to be buried there and to treat the area with the dignity and solemnity it deserves.

My contemporary gallery, is located right in the heart of Stanley in the Falkland Islands. I love using my design and photographic skills to create the many different products you’ll find in the Studio, a great selection of locally created and hand made items for all to enjoy. Hopefully you can visit the Studio in person but if not you can have a look through my website and get in touch if there is something you're interested in. Hopefully there is a little something you’ll enjoy!
