The Nek is a narrow saddle formed where Monash Valley pinches into the eastern end of Russell's Top below Baby 700. It was captured briefly by Australian soldiers on 25 April and later recaptured by the Turks. The Anzac line formed just below the Nek and both sides faced each other across this narrow bridge of land, 30 metres wide at its narrowest point. The Nek was a vitally important position which was constantly fought over. For the Turks it offered the prospect of being able to enfilade the beaches, while for the Allies it would have provided a route to the dominating heights. The Turks unsuccessfully attempted to storm the Anzac trenches here on 19 May. On 7 August the 3rd Australian Light Horse Brigade made its ill-fated bayonet attack across the Nek. Four waves of men, each 150 strong, charged the enemy lines and were annihilated; of the 600 who charged, over half became casualties, 234 of them killed .

 The Nek Cemetery is built on the former no-man's-land, where the dead lay until after the war. There are ten headstones (only five of which mark identified remains) as most of the 316 dead could not be identified and lie unmarked in six rows beneath the grass. The Turks named the Nek, Cesarit Tepe (Hill of Valour)

 Walker's Ridge Cemetery, is reached by walking southwest along the rough road from the cemetery at the Nek. The cemetery is located at the edge of the ridge line with spectacular views south to Mule Gully, the Sphinx, Ari Burnu and North Beach. The cemetery contains over 60 graves, including 40 New Zealanders and 12 Australians.

 Baby 700 Cemetery is built over part of the line established on the afternoon of 25 April. Almost 200 metres high, Baby 700 was a key Turkish artillery observation post and a valuable sniper position. Its inland slopes were among the lurthest positions reached by Australians in the Landing assault. In the armistice of 24 May the Turks buried Australian and New Zealander dead there. Headstones mark the graves of 33 soldiers, mostly Australians and New Zealanders who died on 25 April. There are also 450 unidentified graves; one is known to be an Australian, the rest are unknown.

 Chunuk Bair (Conkbayiri) was a main target for the Anzac force, but remained in Turkish hands, except for the brief period 840 August when an exhausted New Zealand force occupied the peak. For two days they viewed the distant goal of the campaign, the Dardanelles, eight kilometres away. On 10 August, Turkish troops commanded by Mustafa Kemal, counter-attacked and drove off the British troops who relieved the New Zealanders. The Turks controlled the heights unchallenged for the rest of the campaign.
