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.
[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 known as L-Argentier.
[citation needed] In 1915, the British built Wardija Battery on the east end of the ridge.
