Hiking
The cemetery is small and isolated, surrounded by fields. It is a peaceful and serene place. You can pay homage to fallen soldiers, some of whom are unidentified, and read their inscriptions on tombstones. You can also learn about the history of the cemetery and the battles that took place nearby on the information board.

Historical interpretation:
The village of Tilly-les-Mofflaines was captured by Commonwealth troops on April 9, 1917, but was again partially in German hands from March to August 1918. "Houdain Lane" was a trench in the area between Tilloy and Feuchy. The cemetery was established in April 1917 by units of the 12th (Eastern), 15th (Scottish) and 37th Divisions. The cemetery contains 76 graves from the First World War.
