Moderate walk up to the tower - amazing views if you brave the narrow steps to the top.

Waterloo monument was built to commemorate the battle of Waterloo. The monument has two paths. A challenging one and a less challenging one. The first path is very steep. The climb itself is challenging but only takes 15 minutes. There is a car park at the bottom of the hill. To access this car park, drive through New Abbey (heading towards Dumfries) and turn off at the pub in the middle of the village. Follow the road for a few minutes until the end where you will find a car park. It is very clear how to get to the monument when parked. The second less challenging path has been recently laid and to get on this path requires parking at Sweet Heart Abbey and walking through the village until you pass the old corn mill and there is path access on the left. We have not walked this path before, and only been told about it, so probably best to enquire in the New Abbey shop for specific directions for the easy path. At the summit you will find the monument and good views. You can climb the monument but it was not built in the days of health and safety regulations, so there is no barriers at the top, just a plank of wood to sit on. The staircase is very narrow so 2 at a time max as there is also only room for 2 to turn around at the top! Not for vertigo sufferers but good for a bit of aerobic exercise as its a very steep climb and it has rewarding views at the top.
