​Location Information

Bucquoy is a village in the Pas de Calais approximately 16 kilometres south of Arras.

Take the Arras to Bucquoy road (D919). On entering the village, turn left at the first main crossroads. Following the CWGC signpost, drive by the church and then turn left. A second CWGC signpost will be seen on the wall of a house. Continue straight on until you come to the communal cemetery, which backs onto pastureland. The Extension is on the left hand side of the communal cemetery, separated from it by a path, but access is through the communal cemetery.
