The Waterloo monument was errected in 1816 to record the valour of those British, Belgian and Prussian soldiers who under Wellington and Blucher on the 18th of June 1815 gained the victory of Waterloo, by which, French tyranny was overthrown and peace restored to the world.
It stands on top of a prominent hill and can be seen for miles around. It is about 65 feet high and there is a spiral staircase leading up inside which can be climbed with caution, it is open at the top where there is no protection or parapet but a fantastic view. Extreme care is required at the top.
This cache which is a 35mm film canister is placed at the bottom of the hill at the public car park for those climbing the hill to visit the Waterloo monument.
This car park is accessed from New Abbey on a very narrow single tracked public road, easier alternative parking is available in New Abbey an approximate half hour scenic walk away.
Please be sure to replace the cache and the item hiding it carefully.
Happy caching.
