Wied il-Għasri, the Għasri Valley, is a marvellous place for a country walk or bike ride, especially in winter and spring. L-Għasri Valley is a deep gorge-like valley with very high cliffs carved into the Lower Coralline Limestone and the overlying Globerigerina Limestone.

Wied il-Għasri is very popular with divers who like to explore the surrounding underwater caves. In the 18th century, the inner part of Wied il-Għasri was owned by a Maltese clockmaker who decided to dig a well in a cave entrance in the sea, creating what is known today as Għar il-Qamħ (transl. Grain Cave).

The area is great for a swim on a fine day but is especially spectacular on windy days when you can enjoy the rage of the sea splashing against the cliffs from a safe distance.

Where the valley meets the sea is an interesting cave with a shaft dug right up to the top of the steep cliffs above. This used to contain a rig of ropes and buckets to bring up sea water to fill the neighboring saltpans.
