McFarland's Down is an area of St. Mary's to the north of the island approximately two miles from Hugh Town and St. Mary's quay. The road itself gives access to approximately twenty detached individually designed houses and bungalows which have mainly been built over a period of the last thirty to forty years.

Not far from all the islands amenities yet off the beaten track McFarland's Down appeals to people who wish to be away from main activities and yet within easy reach of them. An added advantage is the close proximity of one of St. Mary's well loved coastlines, Bar Point, and views across the rear gardens to the Nor'ard Rocks.
