Bluff Cove

It was the site of secondary landings of the Falklands War of 1982, which resulted in a successful attack of the Argentine Air Force, which came to be known as the Bluff Cove Disaster.

Forty-eight people, including thirty-two Welsh Guards, were killed or severely wounded, with many suffering terrible burns.

The Museum displays range from penguins to pioneers and include the life of Falkland Island sheep farmers and the history of Bluff Cove Farm.

Other exhibits include: Falkland Flavours – as well as the rearing of farm animals, harvesting our seasonal wild foods – egging, gosling-chasing, fishing, berry-picking and foraging for mushrooms.

Charles Darwin rode with Gauchos across the farm in 1834 on his round the world scientific journey which led to his theory of evolution.
