Stanley Through the Lens: Highlights & Photo Stops

The sights everyone comes ashore for, and the exact spots where they photograph well. Where to stand so the cathedral sits behind the whalebone arch, which side of Ross Road gives you the painted roofs with the harbour behind them, and where the light falls best in the hours your ship is alongside. The whole route is flat and close to the jetty, we stop often, there are benches and a café halfway, and I am glad to hold the camera so you are in the picture too. Phones are perfectly good here. So is a long lens.

The easiest walk on the list

If you would rather not walk far, this is the tour to choose. The whole route is flat, it stays close to the jetty, we stop often, and there are benches along the way and a café halfway round. It suits visitors who want the highlights of Stanley without distance, and anyone travelling with limited mobility.
