Wardija Ridge is a plateau found in a group in the north of Mġarr, Malta, just outside of Wardija. Wardija Ridge is part of a series of hills that run on a southwest-northeast axis from the Għajn Tuffieħa area in Mġarr to the Xemxija Bay area in St. Paul's Bay. The Northern ridge edge is interrupted by a series of valley systems which discharge into il-Wied tal-Pwales. [citation needed]
Located at 35°55'54.02" latitude and 14°22'18.01" longitude, the 139-meter-high Wardija Ridge has a total of more than 40 tourist attraction spots divided into six sections.
Wardija Ridge has been assigned a Level 2 degree of protection as Areas of Ecological Importance and Sites of Scientific Importance, and supports important garigue communities characterized by rare species.[citation needed] Other levels of protection have been given to the three valley systems in the scheduled areas, the upper reaches of the watercourse of Il-Wied ta' San Martin and the Southern part of the promontory at the area known as L-Argentier.[citation needed]
In 1915, the British built Wardija Battery on the east end of the ridge. The battery became obsolete in 1938, but its gun emplacements remain.[1]
