The Waterloo Monument on Peniel Heugh was constructed between 1817 and 1824 to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo (1815). The timber cap on top of the Monument was added in 1867. It's a place of historical interest and with beautiful panoramic views.

This is a brilliant walk. You start at the visitor centre and take the short 30 min hike to the summit. It’s an easy walk but can be steep in places. All on path or flattened grass. Decent fitness required but should be an easy walk for most. Superb views.
