So I visited the Waterloo Battlefield yesterday. There's plenty written about the battle - agreed to be one of the most important in Western history, and there's a remarkably accurate 1970 dramatisation staring Christopher Plummer and Rod Steiger as Wellington and Napoleon respectively, which is well worth the watch. So there's no need for me to add anything to that. Suffice it to say it is an amazing experience to visit it if you get the chance.
To give you a feeling for the scene, almost 200 years since it happened, here is a video panoramic:
But here are a series of photographs I took from various salient sites on the field on which I have written some detailed captions to give you a better feel for the key spots and the action that took place there.

But it is better to visit for yourself!
