Two streets connect Ieper town centre onto the Brugseweg; Torhoutstraat leads from the market square onto the Kalfvaartstraat. At the end of Kalfvaartstraat is a large junction on which Brugseweg is the first right hand turning. 5 Km along the Brugseweg, just before the village of St Juliaan, lies the right hand turning onto Peperstraat. The cemetery itself lies immediately after this right hand turning, on the left hand side of the road.
