Well Dressings

In 2010, there were 8:

• Hands Well at the north end of the village, near the Post Office
• Children’s Well on Rakes Lane, nearly opposite Hands Well
• Hall Well opposite Tissington Hall
• Yew Tree Well at the south end of the village, near the start of The Avenue leading to Tissington Gates
• Town Well at the eastern end of the Village Green, near the duck pond
• Coffin Well in the garden of a house on Chapel Lane (follow the signs via a footpath from the Town Well)
• FitzHerbert School (Fenny Bentley) Well Dressing at the gate of a cottage on the Village Green, near the Town Well
• Kindergarten Well Dressing outside Tissington Kindergarten

How to get there

Tissington is located to the east of the A515 Ashbourne to Buxton road, north of Fenny Bentley.

CAR: follow the signs from the main road. During the Well Dressings, a one way system operates in the village, and there is no parking on the roads (except for disabled). The signs direct you into a large field which acts as a convenient car park (there is a small charge) from where you can walk around the village in comfort.

SATNAV: DE6 1RA
This is a convenient nearby postcode that can be entered into your car’s satnav. It is not necessarily the postcode where the dressings are located

BUS: Mondays to Saturdays: roughly every 2 hours from Buxton and Ashbourne. An additional 2 hourly service from Buxton (via Hartington) and Ashbourne calls at Tissington Gates on the A515. Sundays: 3 services per day from Buxton, Hartington and Ashbourne.
For bus services in Derby, Derbyshire and the Peak District, see the Derbyshire Public Transport website. Various Day Tickets are available giving unlimited travel during the day on buses (and in some cases trains) in the relevant area. For bus services outside Derbyshire see Traveline.

CYCLE: the Tissington Trail (traffic-free National Cycle Route 68) passes the village.
