An in-depth walk across the field of 18th June 1815, taking in the key sites, memorials and locations of the battle with Marcus Cribb. Register your interest for future dates.
Having visited the Waterloo battlefield many times I have started guiding groups there, including an in depth hike of the battlefield, taking in many of the key sites, memorials and key locations of the battle on the 18th June 1815, the ideal route is roughly 10km but all outside of the fantastic museums, allowing great flexibility.
Hear about the grand strategy & also accounts from men who survived on that bloody field.
Highlights
- The story of Wellington's Anglo-Allied army against Napoleon Bonaparte's force, both awaiting the Prussians or reinforcements that would swing the day.
