Chadwick Lakes, an interconnected system of 19th-century dams in the sheltered Qlejgħa Valley, offers a peaceful escape. Starting at Fiddien Box in Rabat, the Chadwick Lakes Trail takes you on a scenic hike through Malta’s Western countryside, showcasing beautiful bridges, sturdy dams, and the valley’s unique geology, flora, and fauna. This hidden gem, also known as Wied il-Qlejgħa, is especially captivating in winter and spring when the dams are full, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers to explore and unwind.
