Grovetown Posted 21 May , 2015 Share Posted 21 May , 2015 Am part of small party of novices going over in June. They're responsible for the itinerary. We arrive on a Monday and they have planned visits to Diksmuide, Tyne Cot and Hooge Crater Museum (in that order) before going into Ypres proper. Have had to point out to them that Hooge Crater is shut on Mondays. I haven't been for ages and would be grateful for any suggestions as to (new? museum-y?) places nearby they might enjoy that kind of stick to that loop/ route? (Would rather avoid Sanctuary Wood please - not a great fan). Cheers, GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul@bolton Posted 21 May , 2015 Share Posted 21 May , 2015 GT The Passchendaele Museum at Zonnebeke has had some very good reviews by GWF Pals and is on your route back to Ypres from Tyne Cot. It's open on Mondays, I believe. Or perhaps you've already been there? Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grovetown Posted 21 May , 2015 Author Share Posted 21 May , 2015 Or perhaps you've already been there? New one on me! Haven't been for at least 10 years. Many thanks. GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len Trim Posted 22 May , 2015 Share Posted 22 May , 2015 Yes, second Passchendaele Museum. Take my kids there every year. Excellent experience. They even eat a picnic in the grounds by the lake afterwards. Lovely place. Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andiS Posted 25 May , 2015 Share Posted 25 May , 2015 Went there with my (then 11 year old son) 5 years ago - I thought it was great and suspect it still is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catfishmo Posted 30 May , 2015 Share Posted 30 May , 2015 I believe most everything is closed on Monday in Poperinge--maybe Ypres too. Ginger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
