Walks

Walks

One of the most beautiful walks is down along Rdum Majjiesa. This area is covered by clay slopes, water courses and boulder scree, and features a number of rare plants. The more adventurous rambler may attempt to keep going around the clay slopes to Rdum id-Delli, which is no less stunning. Read More

Rural Heritage

Fields

Though agriculture in the park is very limited, owing to the soil conditions that have lead to establishment of garrigue in many areas, there are isolated pockets, mostly located in the Eastern part along Xagħra l-Ħamra, limits of Manikata. Read More

Cultural Heritage
