Grand Place in Messines via the centre of Wijtschate and its countryside

This route passes close to four important British military cemeteries in the area:

First: Cabin Hill Cemetery was started by the British^11th Division in June 1917 and used as a front-line cemetery until March 1918. This cemetery contains 67 graves from the First World War.

Second: Derry House Cemetery was named after a farm, which had been nicknamed "Derry House" by soldiers of the Royal Irish Rifles. It was started among the ruins of the farm in June 1917 by a field ambulance unit of the 11th Division (32nd Brigade). It was used as a front-line cemetery until December 1917, and again in October 1918 by the 2nd London Scottish. This cemetery contains 166 First World War graves and the remains of a concrete command post built by engineers of the 37th Division in July 1917.

Third: Torreken Farm Cemetery was started by the 5th Dorset Regiment in June 1917 and used as a front-line cemetery until April 1918. This cemetery contains 90 Commonwealth graves and 14 German war graves.

Fourth: this cemetery was created after the Armistice when graves were brought from isolated positions surrounding Wijtschate and the small battlefield cemeteries of Kemmel: 23 graves from the United Kingdom, mostly from 1915, 18 graves of Royal Engineers and four burials of Canadian Engineers from 1915 to 1917.
