Waterloo
Tour
Waterloo
The
famous battlefield where Napoleon Bonaparte was finally conquered.
While the massive Lion Mount has been scraped from Wellington's
defensive ridge, the battlefield and its major strongpoints are
largely unchanged.
Hougoumont,
La Haye Sainte and La Belle Alliance are easily found. Hougoumont
has areas open to visitors - including the courtyard, ruined chapel
and the garden - as does La Haye Sainte.
There
are museums at the battlefield and you can visit Wellington's headquarters
in Waterloo village itself.
59
km (37 miles) north-west of Namur. 20 minute drive.
