The Royal Engineers Grave at Railway Wood is a thought provoking place to visit. It commemorates 12 soldiers who died in tunnelling operations in the area and whose bodies were never recovered. It is a good place on top of the hill to view Ypres and the surrounding area it is a good idea to read some history of the area before visiting. Parking is limited and it is a short walk to the memorial.

A walk from the Hooge crater museum leads to Bellewarde ridge. A much fought over stretch of land in WW1. On top of the right is the G.E Grave memorial to the tunnellers that died in an explosion during WW1. A view for miles of this sad site where the men still lie. A worth while walk and you can see the extent of the bomb craters in the wood. Information can be obtained from the museum.
