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.

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.

Brief visit whilst on cruise visit. A peaceful place to say the Daily Office whilst reflecting on how Islanders suffered during 1982 conflict
8. Whalebone Arch

Reviewed By Amjar1 - Lakeville, United States
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.
10. Royal Marines Monument
