AEROPLANE CEMETERY Belgium

AEROPLANE CEMETERY is located 3.5 Km north east of Ieper town centre on the Zonnebeekseweg (N332), a road connecting Ieper to Zonnebeke.

Two roads connect Ieper town centre onto the Zonnebeekseweg; the Torhoutstraat leads from the market square onto a small roundabout. At the roundabout the first right turn is Basculestraat. At the end of Basculestraat there is a cross roads and Zonnebeekseweg is the turning to the left.

The cemetery itself lies 3 Km along the Zonnebeekseweg on the right hand side of the road, shortly after a French cemetery.
