WESTKERKE CHURCHYARD Belgium
The village of Westkerke is located about 17 kilometres south-west of the town of Brugge (Bruges), on the N367 road which runs between Brugge and Gistel. It is also close to the E40 motorway. From the motorway take junction 6 Jabbeke which is the road N377. When you come into Jabbeke at the junction with the N367 turn right direction Gistel. You go through the village of Roksem and Westkerke is the next village. As you enter the village there is a road junction with the N368 to your right. Go straight on and the church is just past the junction on the right. The graves are located to the left of the church at the end of the WESTKERKE CHURCHYARD.
