Brenton Loch, Sea inlet and fjord in East Falkland, United Kingdom.

Brenton Loch extends as a narrow water body with steep cliffs separating Lafonia from the northern section of East Falkland Island.

Samuel Lafone established Hope Place settlement on the southern shores in 1846, bringing gauchos to populate the surrounding area.

Local residents pronounce the Scottish-influenced name as 'lock,' reflecting the heritage of 19th-century Goose Green inhabitants.

The inlet connects with Grantham Sound at its mouth and extends near the isthmus joining Darwin and Goose Green settlements.

HMS Arrow anchored in these waters during the Battle of Goose Green, providing naval support for ground operations.
