Private Nature Tour: Chadwick, Victoria & Bingemma

About this activity

Step off the beaten path and into Malta’s natural heart with this private walking tour through the lush Chadwick Lakes, the historic Victoria Lines, and the scenic Bingemma Valley. Accompanied by a fully qualified and certified botanist, you’ll discover Malta’s diverse ecology, wildlife, and hidden archaeological treasures — all in one unforgettable experience.

Chadwick, Victoria & Bingemma

Your walking adventure begins at the tranquil Chadwick Lakes, an artificial water system created in the 19th century. This restored valley, Wied il-Qlejgħa, is a haven for birds, butterflies, and the endemic Maltese painted frog. You’ll wander alongside clear streams, wetlands, and riparian trees, surrounded by floating wildflowers and aquatic life.

Next, follow the towering Victoria Lines, Malta’s answer to the Great Wall — a 12km defensive structure built by the British across the island’s northern escarpment. This route offers commanding views of the countryside, rolling farmland, and stretches as far as Gozo on clear days.

Continue your nature journey through the Bingemma Escarpment, rich with garigue vegetation, wild orchids, and a network of ancient rock-cut tombs. Here, you’ll explore a remarkably preserved Paleo-Christian burial site, rarely seen by tourists.

Your walk concludes at the Chapel of Our Lady of Itria, a rustic 17th-century church that still welcomes visitors today — a peaceful and spiritual end to your walk through nature, history, and archaeology.
