Sightseeing
The valley is a truly beautiful sight. The chapel dedicated to Our Lady of Itria is quaint. Tombs and caves can be seen across from it. Part of the Victoria Lines (which are a line of fortifications that span 12 kilometres along the width of Malta)can be seen. The view from near the chapel is unique. Fort Binġemma (built as a watch tower during the times of the Knights of St John) is nearby.

Everything Else
Magnificent views. Maltese Garigue. A 'must visit' for nature lovers. Offers fantastic views of cliffs, valleys, deep blue Mediterranean Sea as well as peace and tranquillity and is well worth a visit. the only way down to the secluded Fomm Ir-Rih Bay is via a rough, tricky and sometimes steep and slippery pathway taking around 20 minutes. Be aware that the return climb in 30°C (and over) heat and sun is not recommended for unfit persons, children and elderly. When the winds blow from the north or northwest swimming is not recommended as it is dangerous with the rolling waves.
