Tyne Cot Cemetery, located in Passchendaele, Flanders, is the largest British military cemetery on the European mainland. This impressive First World War memorial contains the graves of thousands of soldiers who died in the Battle of Passchendaele. The serene and expansive Tyne Cot fields, with rows of white gravestones and the impressive Cross of Sacrifice, offer a poignant place for reflection and tribute. The visitor centre tells the stories of the soldiers and makes history tangible for every visitor.
