MESSINES RIDGE BRITISH CEMETERY Belgium

MESSINES RIDGE BRITISH CEMETERY is located 9.5 Km south of Ieper town centre, on the Nieuwkerkestraat a road leading from the Rijselseweg N365, which connects Ieper to Wijtschate, Mesen and on to Armentieres.

From Ieper town centre the Rijselsestraat runs from the market square, through the Lille Gate (Rijselpoort) and directly over the crossroads with the Ieper ring road. The road name then changes to the Rijselseweg.

Nieuwkerkestraat is a right hand turning from the N365 in the town of Mesen. The MESSINES RIDGE BRITISH CEMETERY lies 250 metres after this right hand turning, on the left hand side of the road.
