    This monument commemorates the Duke of Wellington’s victory at the Battle of Waterloo (1815). This battle was the start of the downfall of Napoleon, and with him, the French Empire.

      There is a busy road before the final climb to the monument. The great Iron Duke lives on in memory with this recently refurbished monument. The history and the superb views make this a great choice for a hike 😀
