The provincial domain of Gasthuisbossen (Hospital Forests) originated during the Middle Ages when the wealthiest inhabitants of Ypres sought to earn their keep by donating to churches and monasteries. This enabled the construction of impressive Gothic churches between 1200 and 1350. They also founded almshouses and almshouses: a combination of hospital, poor relief, and asylums (now the Public Centre for Social Welfare). To finance the operation of their almshouses and almshouses, the wealthy also donated agricultural land and forests. Thus, there are 220 hectares of "Hospital Forests" around Ypres. The Ypres Gasthuisbossen encompass eight domains: Huikerbossen and Padhoekbos, Twaalfgemetenbos and Papenelst, Zwarte Leenbos, Groenenburg, Zandvoordebos, Godtschalck Domain, Hoge Netelaar, and Drieblotenbos. In Wijtschate, there is also Kampagnebos. In 1996, over 200 hectares of forest were leased by the Ypres region to the Province of West Flanders. The Gasthuisbossen now form a provincial domain.

An interesting anecdote concerns the grave of Lieutenant Gilbert Talbot of the Rifle Brigade, which is located in Plot 1, Row G. His death inspired the foundation of Talbot House in Poperinghe, a retirement home for soldiers, established by his brother Neville Talbot and Chaplain Philip 'Tubby' Clayton.

Sanctuary Wood Cemetery is a cemetery managed by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. The cemetery was established in 1915 and contains the graves of 1,989 soldiers, 1,353 of whom are unidentified. It was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens. Sanctuary Wood itself was used by British troops in November 1914 as a shelter behind the front line. The wood was the scene of fierce fighting, most notably during the Battle of Mount Sorrel in June 1916, involving Canadian and German troops.

An interesting anecdote concerns the battles around the pond during the war. Soldiers used the pond as a natural barrier and shelter. There are stories of soldiers wading through the water at night to reach enemy lines, which gave the pond strategic significance.
