Darwin and Goose Green Farm


Darwin and Goose Green are situated on a narrow bridge of land linking upper and lower East Falklands with Lafonia to the south and Wickham Heights and the Onion Range to the North.
Historic Darwin settlement retains much evidence of the 1982 Conflict, with many points of interest for those interested in military history. The Argentine Cemetery is situated 10 minutes drive from the settlement. Several other important memorials are also located nearby including a small monument at the spot where Col. H. Jones fell during the battle for Goose Green.
The settlement was named after naturalist Charles Darwin who visited in the late 1830s, and is an excellent place to view remnants of early settlement - with a restored stone corral and living quarters from the late 1800s accessible by foot from the settlement.
This is also a great jump-off point for exploring the plains of Lafonia or the hills to the north which include the Islands' highest peak, Mount Usborne. For those that prefer more relaxing, indoor activities, craft workshops are also offered in the settlement.
Darwin House provides a pleasant base, offering overnight accommodation with full board, as well as casual meals and guided tours. Visitors will find Darwin a convenient alternative to Stanley due to its proximity to Mount Pleasant International Airport and central access to all areas on East Falklands.
