Many years ago, in fact I think it would have been either 1979 or 81, Maltese friends of ours took us to Buskett Gardens Roadhouse for the Sunday show and tea. The place was packed. Mary Spiteri was the main entertainment. A good time was had by all! Very happy memories of a fabulous family holiday. Keep up the good work Steve, xx

Love the video a specially in a nice quilt place like that,that’s what I like peaceful places to walk just me and the birds and the bees and the nature. Thanks 🙏 Steve lovely 🥰 😍
Thank you Steve for your great videos ,it takes me back to my younger days with my family,it makes my day and put a smile on my face especially on a dull and rainy day up North in the U k.good work .
Alone in the woods & survived ☺.. You're lucky Steve you didn't meet the Big Bad Wolf 🏃🐺 🎄🌿 😂. Last time I was there it was over 50yrs ago, for "IMNARJA NIGHT". THANKS for the lovely stroll🚶🎥👏 Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
@@EnglishmaninMalta Don't blame you looking over your shoulder Steve , it's known to be a HAUNTED area 👻 👩 😂. BTW, mentioning Maggie Thatcher, VALE SIR DAVID AMESS 🙏. Tragic, Sad 😔. Cheers 👍 🇲🇹 ♥ 🇪🇺 ™
Hi, yes nice walks etc in Busket, We usually go there each time we visit and end up for coffee at the Busket Roadhouse. Thanks for all the info on it ,Steve. 👍
A very enjoyable video and Buskett Woodlands looks a lovely place. I enjoyed this video very much ant its amazing to think the Knights walked through that area.
Nice video Steve. I remember walking through Buskett 'Forest' 40+ years ago, and seeing the oranges growing. Had a Xmas lunch once at the restaurant there too, treated by our boss. IIRC didn't PM Dom Mintoff host Col. Gaddafi at the Verdala Palace, I seem to remember seeing the Libyan flag flying there.
I did not know about this place Steve, it looks beautiful 😍 and I do love a good ghost story 👻 I must try and find your other video that you filmed here
Hey Rachael the links are at the start and also at the end ...but I send you also now ua-cam.com/video/XPCHDI0ihAU/v-deo.html also halloween video its scary at night ua-cam.com/video/hy_TseZw2K8/v-deo.html
Learnt something new today. Didn't know there were woodlands in Malta. It looks a nice walk for people steady on their feet. The bridge looked in good condition, wonder what's on top of it. Was nice to hear the trickling water. Stay dry next week xx
There are many walk ways all around, good for allsort of people, maybe that one i took is a little adventurous, but there are easier, thank you for the comments
Thanks for the walk through Buskett Gardens , what a lovely woodlands area you have uncovered, the bridge looks in good nick, it’s a bit lonely in there tho, watch out for snakes Steve, yes know what you mean about Maltese/ Italians being loud, they end up deaf later with all that shouting.
I really enjoyed this Steve. I look forward to Sunday mornings, having my breakfast and watching the video you put out during the night ( Sydney time).Very relaxing , felt like I was on the walk too. Take care. Thanks Steve.
Great video Steve, love Buskett Woodlands, have had a wander about the lovely area, but never came across the bridge at 7.38, but I guess we may have taken a different path, there are many to choose from. We went by bus here, driver dropped us off at the entrance and told us what time to be back, so we were clock-watching a bit, next time we'll go up in the car, give us more time. Thanks again, always good to see lovely parts of Malta off the beaten track.
Yes its always difficult when time restricted at a new place until you know where your going, but please go again when you have more time ! There are many paths
Hi Steve, nice area to visit when you need a green wooded walk in Malta. I like the colder months to visit when the water is running but it's interesting all year round. cheers 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Steve good video mate really enjoyed it.We have just got back of a week's holiday in Malta loved it .Was going to get in touch with you but I know you are busy .Maybe next year mate and have a cisk .Keep up the good video's mate cheers 👍👍
Steve, thank you for your replies, but although you might be right in that Malta was covered with trees, it would seem like you never replied to my question "....And if I may ask how did they use to transport the ships and galleons?...."
Just that I did not understand it ?? why would they transport ships and galleons ? I can not see what you are getting at ?? I am no historian just what I read , No idea what point you are trying to make ?
Friends in Malta took me to Buskett years ago, and joked that this was the Black Forest of Malta. I live near the real Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in south-west Germany. It is huge, dense, but all pines, firs and other conifers. Buskett is beautiful in its own way, with a much bigger variety of trees. And in a much better climate zone. I am dreading another freezing winter here, with insane heating costs.
The knights cut a lot of trees to build ships and galleons??? This is news to me. And if I may ask how did they use to transport the ships and galleons?
Let me put it this way than: Why would the knights chop trees at Buskett to make way for the building of galleons and ships? That might have been so, but I am mostly interested to learn from where did you read this? Am not a historian either, but still am prepared to learn more.
Ey up. The bridge was used for getting the knights horses and hunters into the forest. There's a lovely chateau buskett there for evening entertainment in a lovely moonlight setting. And mgaar I xini is beautiful. I cliff dived there. Very deep inlet for the knights ships.but do not use the restaurant guys, it's horribly filthy! Good luck everyone! Have a nice weekend.
You can ask him the prime minister why I can’t get a passport as I wasn’t quick enough because they had a cut off and I’m born there but if i have loads of money i can buy it 😡 keep up the good work 🙏

'We've seen a couple of your videos, if you can call them that' Oh man, best quote ever, made me laugh. Oh another great video, nice area...
They were a nice couple ..Not sure he meant it that way ..lol but yes funny
@@EnglishmaninMalta I agree, I have a friend who speaks like that too.
Привет дорогой друг, очень интересно!!! Супер лайк!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sorry what language is that ? Can see thumbs up so thank you
It must be n ice to wander there. ;)
Its got a lovely atmosphere
Like 2 ,,, very big and amazing place my friend ,,👌👍 yours travelling videos is just wonderful
Thank you so much 😀
August Moon Ball - it is a charity event. Proceeds go to the Malta Community Chest Fund.
I believe the White Lady appears in the balcony of the Palace during the event but it is only acting as part of the entertainment
We enjoy your videos by the way. We love exploring Malta ourselves, my husband and I, But we are still learning about new places in our tiny Islands.
Nice to hear ..more in the way !!
Hi Steve, nice area to visit when you need a green wooded walk in Malta. I like the colder months to visit when the water is running but it's interesting all year round. cheers 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

In the very old days there were lots more trees there and all over the island , you live in a beautiful place many years ago I came near there
The party where they witness the haunting was The august moon ball
Thanks ...was just testing you 😋
@@EnglishmaninMalta yeah right! 🤣🤣 trying a few times
Loved this video Steve - great place. Where did you start your walk?
Hey phil. Way down pasted the bridge. It get a bit over grow more further down
Yet another great video Steve , I wonder why the Maltese don`t push these places more , this place is sure an amazing sight .
Yes i wonder this that many tourists not know about ?
The knights cut a lot of trees to build ships and galleons??? This is news to me. And if I may ask how did they use to transport the ships and galleons?
There are verious articles referring to malta covered with Forrest oak and pine. very different to todays malta ?
Let me put it this way than: Why would the knights chop trees at Buskett to make way for the building of galleons and ships? That might have been so, but I am mostly interested to learn from where did you read this? Am not a historian either, but still am prepared to learn more.
You will have to research it ,
i find the bridge to be interesting though if you climb up on top there is nothing to be found
Its all so much history over there
Many tourists don't know this
Yes its a shame a bit difficult to get too
Never seen so many trees in Malta -
Yes surprisingly we do have. And they were many more in the old days
Hi Steve Malta Forest I fought you mite see a tiger or monkey ha ha Steve is there a zoo in Malta that be a good video to do
Never Know what you might find down there, There is some kind of wild life like park, But I find them a bit sad to see caged up !!
Ey up. The bridge was used for getting the knights horses and hunters into the forest. There's a lovely chateau buskett there for evening entertainment in a lovely moonlight setting. And mgaar I xini is beautiful. I cliff dived there. Very deep inlet for the knights ships.but do not use the restaurant guys, it's horribly filthy! Good luck everyone! Have a nice weekend.
