Country walks in Malta

Hello everyone, I hope that some of you have suggestions for me. I am thinking about organizing a little walk for families with children (ranging from 3 to 10 years old). Nothing taxing a little rambling in the countryside with something interesting along the way (a beach or a field to explore) and a picnic. It does not have to be circular as I am planning to hire transport.
Thank you

Hi pevi,

between 3 and 10 is quite a range!

I would suggest a walk along the coast from Pembroke starting at the new playground and walking along the the new pathway towards and past the desalination plant , possibly as far as the Madliena watchtower.

Or, a walk around Busket gardens. Wonderful shady trees and orange and lemon tree groves  and areas for a picnic.

Or a walk through the San Anton Gardens ending in the Kitchen Gardens ( small zoo, great playground for young and old, turtle pond,swans,peacocks )

Cheers
Ricky

just be careful until the end of the month, when the hunting season stops

What a lovely idea Pevi - good luck with your walks.

We have not yet arrived in Malta so unable to help, sorry, not trying to barge in on your post but would just like to expand the idea slightly. At the moment in the UK we arrange a monthly community dog walk where people get together for nice countryside or seaside walks with dogs that also helps to socialise them.

Wondering if anyone knows of anything similar on Malta, and what times of the year would be best to attend.

Many Thanks

As a warning,  it's illegal to take dogs onto sandy beaches in Malta,  even in the winter

I know that, you are absolutely right. But insn't it stupid?
Because if you are on a rocky beach and your dog leaves something after him it is impossible to get it all with you.
But if you are on a sandy beach you take all the dog leavings AND some of the beach sand and there is no leaving left behind.

I did not know that actually, but then  again, I don't have a dog too. But if that law works the same way as it works with the Dog Fouling, I wouldn't be surprise seen people taking their dogs at the sandy beaches  :)
