Hougoumont is the walled farm that the British defended all day during the battle, on Wellington's right wing, and the last authentic remnant of the 1815 field. Today it has a four-room museum, an immersive light and sound show and a tea room.

Open from 11:00 to 18:00 in spring and autumn, until 18:30 in July and August and from 11:00 to 17:00 from November to March, when on weekdays only the exteriors can be seen. It is about 1.5 km from the Memorial: in season the electric 1815 shuttle runs, included in the ticket; otherwise you walk along the paths of the field.
