Wardija

Wardija is the limestone ridge nearest to the Great Fault. It rises to 143 meters (2 meters lower than the highest ridge of Mellieha). The Wardija ridge spans from Ghajn Tuffieha to St Paul's Bay and is the residential preserve of the upper-class Maltese. It is sparsely populated and a good place to walk around. The scenery is panoramic, especially from the old English gun emplacements overlooking St Paul's Bay.
