Stanley by district
Stanley is one long street. Ross Road runs east to west along the harbour edge with the shops, the cathedral, the Visitor Centre and the guesthouses; a few streets climb behind it. Nothing is more than 2 km from the cathedral, so the useful division is east (museum and the road to Gypsy Cove), centre (cathedral, shops, jetty) and west (Victory Green, Government House and the quieter guesthouses).Stanley is one long street.
