The Marfa Ridge is a geographical ridge in Northwest Malta. The ridge is mostly known for hiking trips.[1] On the eastern tip of the ridge, Maltese farmland is very common. The entirety of the ridge is made out of Globigerina limestone and is around 5.16 miles (8.30 km) long. Its highest point is on its western tip at 411 feet (125 m).[2] The largest nature reserve in Malta along with the largest bay are both present around 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) south of the ridge.[3]
