The Majjistral Nature & History Park is organising guided nature walks for people to appreciate the blossoming of life in the Maltese countryside, after the long summer drought.

A guided nature walk is made regularly at the Park on Sundays (or other days by request). The walk is 6 km long and takes approximately two and a half hours. Initially, this guided walk is being offered free of charge, as part of the management’s commitment to increasing awareness and enjoyment of our heritage, whilst also promoting healthy exercise in the fresh air.

The north-west of Malta offers unique seascapes and landscapes, a sense of wilderness and some truly inspiring walks. The Park extends from ir-Ramla tal-Mixquqa (Golden Bay) to Il-Prajjet (Anchor Bay), and is jointly managed by three non-governmental organizations – Din l-Art Helwa, the Gaia Foundation and Nature Trust.

The walks are led by a qualified and experienced guide, and begin at 10am near the Golden Bay bus stop, ending at the same place at around 12.30pm. Places on the walk must be pre-booked and walks are subject to a minimum number of persons. Bookings can be made by email on [email protected]. The terrain consists mostly of rocky paths beside the cliffs and dirt tracks, and suitable walking shoes are essential. For further information on the Park visit www.majjistral.org.
