Port Howard is a sheep farming settlement from which the 200,000-acre Port Howard farm is operates. The forty or so inhabitants look after approximately 42,000 sheep and 800 cattle. In a scenically attractive location, Port Howard is an ideal place to experience Camp life at first hand and an excellent base from which to explore the fine landscapes of West Falkland. The settlement has a comfortable lodge to which is attatched a small museum housing relics of the 1982 conflict.
There is also a workshop producing fine Falkland wool knitwear and a small retail store. Visitors can watch the various aspects of sheep farming and take advantage of opportunities available for walking and riding. Port Howard Lodge is also the Islands' best centre for sea trout fishing on the Warrah and Chartres rivers. Guiding and transport can be provided.
