The Falkland Islands covers a total area of 12,173 sq.km (4,700 sq mi), and are an overseas territory of the United Kingdom in South Atlantic Ocean. As observed on the physical map above, The Falkland Islands are an archipelago comprised of two large islands (East Falkland and West Falkland) and several hundred smaller ones, that are ringed by a rugged coastline, and for the most part are hilly, rocky and covered with low shrubs and coarse grass. The two large islands are separated by Falkland Sound.
Hills and low mountains cover the central areas of both large islands, including the Wickham Heights and Hornsby ranges. The archipelago's highest point, as marked on the map by an upright yellow triangle on the map is Mount Usborne at 2,312ft (705m) housed on East Falkland. The lowest point is the Atlantic Ocean. Shallow streams, ponds and tiny lakes cover a very small percentage of the land, while the drowned river valleys form protected natural harbors along the islands coast.

In 1792 there were 231 weavers in the village, probably about a third of the population. Other buildings in the village reflect other phases of its history, and other industries including brewing.

Falkland Estate Trust is a landowner that looks after Falkland Estate with two in-hand farms, a historic designed landscape, historic buildings and the Centre for Stewardship that runs activities and events.
