Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,446 contributionsFabulous structure. It is built on land given by the Falkland's Island Company to commemorate the 100th year of British rule. Could do with more information boards thoughWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- AloofbobGeorge Town, Grand Cayman100 contributionsIt's a spectacular sight and worth the 1+ hour walk beyond the airfield, to get to it. If you're fortunate, offshore to the right on the way you'll see dolphins (I didn't), and killer whales in the sea beyond the lighthouse itself (I didn't see them either). A few yards beyond it is the Atlantic Conveyor memorial from the 1982 war.
Great place to visit and then sit on the nearby bench overlooking the rocks and sea, to make the most of the lunch you'll have earned getting there. Unless you drove of course, in which case you earned nothing... ;)
I hope they maintain it, and potentially renovate it so people can visit inside - no sign of that happening as yet.Written 24 October 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It's ion a great setting tooWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,446 contributionsA good memorial to those who lost their lives in world war one, not very far from the 1982 memorial which says something about human kindWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dean-TravellerMugla, TĂĽrkiye1,181 contributionsThis bust of Margaret Thatcher is situated on Thatcher Drive, alongside the 1982 Memorial in Stanley. It is on the coast, a short walk from the cruise terminal in Stanley. A place for a quick photograph but, maybe, a longer reflection.
The bronze bust was created by local sculptor and taxidermist, Steve Massam and unveiled on Thatcher Day, 10th January 2015, the bust commemorates the life of the UK Prime Minister who died in 2013.
Thatcher's role in the Falklands’ conflct is celebrated here, as the leader who was willing to make the decision to liberate the islands after an invasion directed by the military government in Argentina.
The brass plaque beneath bears her words from 3rd April 1982 “They are few in number, but they have the right to live in peace, to choose their own way of life and allegiance”.Written 28 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A welcome splash of color on a grey Stanley day. Beautiful flowers.Written 3 December 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rambling_GiantGlasgow, UK874 contributionsI was slightly intrigued when I heard about this sculpture and spotted it instantly while travelling West on Ross Road. It sat down the slope from the Memorial with the Jhelum shipwreck in site.
Unfortunately, it was in need of sprucing up. Rusted, aged and missing a couple of Planets - a real shame to be honest.
The idea in it’s design is great and the identification of scale is interesting. I found it quite wacky given it’s positioning among various monuments and statues remembering past wars.
Overall, i’m glad I took the time to pay a visit but it needs someone to throw a bit of money it’s way to improve / upgrade the current condition.Written 18 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Woke early, breakfast of cornflakes and tinned mk, set off and soon were engulfed in THICK fog. My mate D.C. (Donald Carruthers) ex Queen's Scout, navigated Steve Sacker and myself T.D. (Tony Davey)to the exact Summit cain and we found a tin with little hard back book I side and signed in as first civilians up to top of Usbourne after Falklands War. Spent an hour up at Summit, as now fog had dissipated and enjoyed a 360 deg spectacular view of East Falklands.
Descended and drove back to camp after wishing each other and absent families a Happy New Year 1984.
I post this in memory of my late best friend D.C. (DONALD CARRUTHERS).

It was originally created by military personnel during the conflict.
To date, the totem pole has been added to by almost forty years worth of locals and tourists. It displays a range of locations from all over the world.
It’s definitely worth a look and you may even wish to add your own hometown to the vast collection of signs!Written 13 July 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is in a great setting, though the garden does need a little attentionWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,446 contributionsIf you are driving out of Stanley on the A3 you will pass this bizarre sight of dozens of boots arranged at the side of the road. There are many reasons given for why they are there and I am not sure there will ever be a definitive answer, just puzzle at the sight!Written 26 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,446 contributionsThere is so much to see down at this end of the harbour in Whalebone Cove. The classic is the wreck of the Lady Elizabeth, but there are also a number of old wrecks of whalers to be seen. Plenty of routes to walk round and you can end up back in Stanley for a coffeeWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Rambling_GiantGlasgow, UK874 contributionsSituated on the tip of the Dockyard Point in Stanley, this is known as the Southern Monument. A simple walk from the Museum will get you there.
It was in a fantastic setting and we caught a glimpse of it just as the Sun was reappearing, forming a lovely reflection of the town / surrounding waters. I believe it’s formed from stainless steel and was unveiled in the early months of 2015.
It commemorates the lives of the 28 men and women of the British Antarctic Survey and Falkland Islands Dependencies Survey who have lost their lives during their research of the somewhat unknown continent.
The Northern Monument is located in Cambridge and the creator is known as Oliver Barratt. A memorial plaque can also be found in the crypt of St Pauls Cathedral in London.Written 27 August 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is quite near Government house so if you do one do the otherWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- PBPGYorkshire, UK8,446 contributionsInteresting to see, and at least they are named. Not sure about the claim that the one gun had killed 20,000 whales, it works out at too many for the timescaleWritten 25 January 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
