Location Information

Warneton (Waasten) Communal Cemetery is located 11.5 Km south east of Ieper town centre on a road leading from the Rijselsestraat N336 that connects Ieper to Bas Warneton then onto Lille. 

From Ieper town centre the Rijselsestraat runs from the market square, through the Lille Gate (Rijselpoort) and directly over the roundabout that forms the junction with the Ieper ring road.
