Douglas Setterment is one of the settlements in the Falkland Islands (Malvinas), a British Overseas Territory, located in central East Falkland. Named after an early settler, it is a typical Falkland rural community with an economy based on sheep farming, surrounded by extensive pastures and rolling hills.
The settlement is sparsely populated and retains a traditional English countryside look, with low stone houses and windbreaks dotted around. The pace of life in the area is slow, with the majority of residents working in livestock farming or tourism. Due to its remoteness, Douglas Settlement maintains a pristine natural landscape inhabited by penguins, seals and other wildlife, making it a hidden destination for eco-tourism.
Transportation is mainly by dirt road to Port Stanley, with an airstrip on the island for basic supplies. There are no busy commercial facilities, but basic accommodations are available, and visitors can experience ranching, bird-watching on foot, and exploring World War II historic sites. Douglas Setterment is a tranquil, off-the-beaten-path example of the Falkland Islands and a window into the culture of the islands of the South Atlantic.
