NOUVEAU CIMETIÈRE BRITANNIQUE DE PASSCHENDALE Belgique
Le NOUVEAU CIMETIÈRE BRITANNIQUE DE PASSCHENDALE (Passendale) est situé à 10,5 kilomètres au nord-est du centre-ville d'Ypres sur la `S Graventafelstraat, une route reliant St Jan à Passendale.
Du centre-ville d'Ypres deux rues donnent accès à la Zonnebeekseweg; la Torhoutstraat part de la place du marché et mène à un petit carrefour giratoire. À ce carrefour, le premier virage à droite se fait sur la Basculestraat. À l'extrémité de la Basculestraat, il y a un carrefour; le virage à gauche donne sur la Zonnebeekseweg.
Sept kilomètres plus loin sur la Zonnebeekseweg, dans le village de Zonnebeke, un virage à gauche donne sur la Langemarkstraat (dont le nom change plus loin à Zonnebekestraat). À 2 kilomètres sur cette route et au-delà du cimetière de Dochy Farm, un virage à droite donne sur la 'S Graventafelstraat.
À 4 km du virage et au-delà du monument commémoratif de la Nouvelle-Zélande se trouve le NOUVEAU CIMETIÈRE BRITANNIQUE DE PASSCHENDALE sur le côté gauche de la 'S Graventafelstraat.
