The Ypres front is made up of dozens of cemeteries, craters and trenches scattered through the countryside, with no public transport between them. The most convenient way to see them without a car is a minibus tour with a local guide. Over the Top Tours, with a bookshop next to the Menin Gate, runs two a day.
The two routes
The morning tour, from 9:30 to 13:30, goes to the northern sector: Essex Farm cemetery, the German cemetery at Langemark, the Canadian Brooding Soldier, Passchendaele, Tyne Cot and the trenches and museum at Hill 62. The afternoon tour, from 14:00 to 17:30, goes south: the 1917 Battle of Messines, the mine craters, Hill 60, the Irish Peace Park, German trenches, the site of the Christmas truce and the Ploegsteert memorial. Each costs €40, in an eight-seat minibus, in English.
