One of the most sought-after areas by Maltese families is the so-called Chadwick Lakes. This area got its name after the intervention of Sir Osbert Chadwick, when during the second half of the 19th century planned several dams, of various sizes and forms, with the intention to retain as much rainwater as possible. Walking along the more than 2 km trail, one would be immersed in rich vegetation, and the sound of water, rushing through the channels, and falling down the dams that were built to retain much of this important source of life. This renders this valley as one of the most interesting and relaxing in Malta.
After heavy rainfall, Maltese families would visit the area, feasting on the natural environment that greets any visitor. The water that would be gathered in the valley floor, would provide a different scenario than any other locations in Malta, making the Qlejgħa Valley, or the Chadwick Lakes, as they are better known, one of the most popular places during the winter months. It is a joy to see children enjoying themselves in this environment.
The trail provides the possibility to walk along the valley floor, surrounded by the natural vegetation, and enjoying a relaxing and quiet moment, making it a pleasure to visit this unique place.
