Join me for a first-hand walkthrough of the legendary Waterloo Battlefield in Belgium, where Napoleon fought his final battle on June 18, 1815. In this immersive battlefield tour, we'll walk the very ground where French, British, Dutch-Belgian, and Prussian armies clashed in one of history's most decisive military engagements.
Special guest David Buttery takes us across the key locations that shaped the outcome of the battle, including Hougoumont, La Haye Sainte, the Lion's Mound, the Allied ridge, and the village of Plancenoit. Along the way, we'll examine the terrain, discuss Napoleon's battle plan, Wellington's defensive position, and the critical arrival of Blücher's Prussian army. The modern battlefield still preserves many of the landmarks that help visitors understand how the dramatic events of June 1815 unfolded.
Whether you're a fan of Napoleonic history, military history, battlefield archaeology, or historical travel, this Waterloo battlefield tour offers a unique opportunity to experience the landscape that witnessed the end of Napoleon's empire.
