Approach

Abseil In: Drive past Mellieħa Bay and towards Ċirkewwa and take the left exit onto the road which leads to the Red Tower. Follow that road until the very end where you will find a Radar Station. You can park here (35°58'18.3"N 14°19'28.9"E). Walk back down the road and after about 150m strike out right towards the cliff edge on a faint trail. You will find an abseil point straight ahead. Walk In (25min approach): Drive past Mellieħa Bay heading north and at the round-about take the 1st exit (straight ahead direction Ċirkewwa). Almost immediately, after just 30m take the (1st) exit to the left following signs for ‘It-Torri l-Aħmar’ (the Red Tower). Drive about 800m past the Red Tower and park here, just before the road bends slightly to the right. To your left you will find a staircase that descends through the cliff. As the staircase ends keep heading downhill and after about 100m turn right at the T-junction. Follow the coastal cliff track through a picturesque agricultural area for about 1km with Bellavista and later Bellorama up to your right. Exiting: To exit the crag (if you didn’t walk in), there is a scramble up near the abseil point.
