# Malta as England

Malta was British until 1964, and it keeps some of that in its gardens, villas and barracks. It can suggest England in close and medium framing, in a milder winter.

## Where it works

- **Gardens.** [San Anton Gardens](https://www.shootinmalta.com/locations/san-anton-gardens/) has tree-lined avenues, fountains and stone urns.
- **Woodland.** [Buskett](https://www.shootinmalta.com/locations/buskett/) is Malta's only woodland, with old stone walls and paths.
- **Period rooms.** [Villa Bologna](https://www.shootinmalta.com/locations/villa-bologna/) has formal gardens and period rooms that suit country house styling.
- **Barracks.** The hilltop at Mtarfa keeps former British barracks and a clock tower, and we can show it on request.

## Planning the look

Malta has gardens, woodland and some greenery, though not open countryside, so we plan these looks in close and medium framing and test them on a recce.

## Questions

### Can Malta double for England?

In close and medium framing, yes. Malta has formal gardens, woodland and some greenery, along with period villas and former British barracks, and a milder winter. We plan these looks tightly and test them on a recce.
