CWGC Ramparts Cemetery, Lille Gate

Beautiful little piece of land dedicated to the fallen of the Commonwealth. The simple crosses with names overlooking the water protecting the city make you wonder of the sacrifices these people made for an inch of land. We forget how easy it is now to cross from Brussels to Paris to London and fly back again to Berlin. However, just a few generations back, this was not possible.

Such a beautiful memorial to the brave young men of Flanders fields who made the ultimate sacrifice. Well worth visiting if taking in the Menin Gate.

One of the most beautiful little commonwealth war cemeteries in Europe. Well worth a visit when strolling the ramparts around the city center. The ramparts were once part of the front line and many a soldier lost his life here. The cemetery contains 198 Commonwealth burials of the First World War. Amongst these are the graves of six New Zealand troops killed simultaneously by the same shell, grouped together.

A small and moving First World War cemetery, beautifully situated on the riverbanks and accessible via a pleasant walk on the town ramparts. Quiet and peaceful, very moving.

Beautiful war cemetery by the water just past the Lille gate.

If a cemetery could be described as stunning this one is set on the rampart surrounding Ypres it is a wonderful setting for soldiers to rest in peace

Beautiful cemetery overlooking the water. At the entrance, there's a list (in a folder) with the names of the individuals buried here. Well-maintained and definitely worth a visit.

A small but beautiful cemetery set on the banks of the river, well worth a visit
