THE EXTERNAL LANDSCAPE
The exterior of the Chapel and the circular Memorial Garden beside it complement the style of the surrounding buildings, being mostly redbrick and stonework.
It is hoped that the garden gives mourners and visitors a sense of protection and comfort while temporarily isolating them from the world outside.
The Memorial Garden with its surrounding rocks and an internal wall-hung relief map of the Falklands brings an external focus for the visitor.
The plants and grasses around the garden landscape are all indigenous to the Falkland Islands.
The Cairn, created with stones collected by relatives of the fallen [below] is located in gardens behind the Chapel and the albatrosses in flight, created by sculptor Mark Coreth, signify the abundance of wild life found on the Islands.
